KJOSFestival Solos, Book 1 - Trombone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A first-level solo collection for trombone. For a student stepping past the band method into pieces meant to be prepared and performed alone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Middle school trombonists preparing a solo and ensemble festival piece
- Students needing graded material outside the daily band book
- Private lesson repertoire at the easiest level
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Advanced players — this is the lowest tier of the series
- Absolute beginners who still need a method book first
- Other instruments — parts are written for trombone
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Solos, not a method
You get pieces to perform, not exercises and explanations. It supplements a band method rather than replacing it.
Detail 03
Trombone edition
Written for trombone specifically. Other instruments in the series are separate books, not transposable substitutes.
Detail 04
Festival oriented
Named for the solo and ensemble contest setting, which is where these pieces typically get performed.
Detail 05
$12.95 for a collection
Several pieces in one book costs less than buying individual sheet music solos one at a time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your festival's approved repertoire list before settling on a piece

- 03No instrument, mouthpiece or music stand included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What level is this?
The first and easiest book in the series. It suits a student who reads comfortably but hasn't performed solo repertoire before.
02Is this a beginner method book?
No. It's a collection of solo pieces. You'd use it alongside a band method, not instead of one.
03Will this work for a first-year player?
It's the entry level of the series, but it assumes you already read music and play basic lines from a method book.
04Do I need the other books in the series?
No. Each numbered book stands on its own. Move up when Book 1 stops being a challenge.
