20 Progressive pieces for Euphonium or Baritone with Piano Accompaniment-Philip Sparke’s Starter Solos is the first volume of a progressive series of books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician. Specifically tailored for each instrument this collection of 20 solos starts with pieces based on only a handful of notes and carefully introduces new musical elements such as articulation dynamics and key signatures in a structured progression to speed the learning process. The books provide invaluable additional material to complement any teaching method. Starter Solos comes with a play-along CD. The advantages of playing either with piano or CD accompaniment are that the beginning player can now experience theimportant aspects of ensemble playing from their earliest lessons thus developing the essential skills of listening while they play and maintaining strict tempo which is not always a factor when playing alone.

Par DOBBINS BILL. Includes a CD, featuring play-along and complete versions: Chris Carbone, tuba - Bill Dobbins, piano. 'Dialogues' is a real virtuoso piece with humor, lyricism, rhythmic drive and a unique blend of contemporary classical and jazz vocabulary. Some basic non-jazz improvisation invites spontaneity and offers the potential for ongoing musical development./ Recueil / Tuba et Piano
