A collection of twelve solos written with the youngest players in mind!
- Ranges limited so that students can focus on rhythmic accuracy, tone quality, dynamics, and expression. The first six pieces are limited to Bb – F concert, the next six are limited to Bb – G concert.
- Rhythms are limited to whole, dotted half, half, quarter, and paired eighth notes. Rhythms that even the youngest musicians can count! No syncopations!
- No pick-ups! Each piece starts on a downbeat so the kids can come in with confidence!
- Each piece is between 1 and 2 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 and score is numbered! You’re welcome! 😉
