This is worth practicing deliberately.

Assign virtual instruments:

LH low single notes: tuba/bass.

Middle staccato chords: banjo/guitar.

RH melody: clarinet.

RH octaves: brass/unison.

Block chords: full section.

High single notes: piccolo/flute.

Now orchestrate the tune by rotating those roles.
