Featured for Spring
Elementary Solo and Ensemble Bundles
- Elementary Solos, Volume 1 , Volume 2, and Elementary Ensembles Volume 1 available.
- Ranges limited so that students can focus on rhythmic accuracy, tone quality, dynamics, and expression.
- Rhythms are limited to whole, dotted half, half, quarter, and paired eighth notes. Rhythms that even the youngest musicians can count! No syncopation!
- Each piece is about one to two minutes in length to accommodate the limited stamina of younger players.
- A variety of styles and moods to motivate students
- Every measure of each part is numbered! You’re welcome! 😉
- Solo books for Flute/Oboe, Bb treble, Eb treble, Tenor Saxophone, Horn, Bass Clef, Tuba, Bells/Xylophone include accompaniment options: piano/keyboard (book included), guitar (book included), and mp3 accompaniment files.
- Duets may be performed by any two instruments, with like or mixed instrumentation, but if you use mixed instrumentation you may have better results if upper instruments play the top line and lower instruments play the bottom line. Also, it may be preferable to avoid having two tubas, as the results may be less desirable.
- Trios should be performed by two higher pitched instruments and one lower pitched instrument. Parts 1 and 2 could be flute, clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, or horn. Part 3 should be at least one octave lower, and should be bassoon, bass clarinet, baritone saxophone, trombone, baritone, or tuba.
