1st Recital Series

Each 1st RECITAL SERIES book includes 12 solo pieces in diverse styles, from arrangements of "classics" to original compositions . This excellent literature is perfect for concerts, contests, recitals, churches, private studios, talent shows, school portfolios, and for home enjoyment. A beautifully re co rd e d Piano Accompaniment CD (included with the solo book) allows the soloist to practice and perform accompanied, even when a Piano player is not available. Of course, the Piano Accompaniment part can be purchased for live performance in concert or festival settings. Also, a demonstration version of each solo with accompaniment is included on the CD, allowing the performer to hear a good demonstration of pro per to n e, expression, and performance techniques – an invaluable tool for learning.  

Band Directors will want to purchase the en t i re series as supplementary materials and for use in Solo & Ensemble festivals and recitals. We are sure you will agree that this is the finest product of its kind available for Beginning through Early Intermediate level musicians.
