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 01

Solos, Book 1

Easiest level of a graded series. Pieces are short and stay in comfortable range rather than testing endurance.

Detail 02

Festival collection

Assembled as contest and recital material, so it's several separate pieces rather than one progressive course.

Detail 03

Trumpet part

Written for B-flat trumpet. Cornet players can generally use the same part.

Detail 04

$12.95

Priced as one book. Piano accompaniment, when a piece calls for it, is typically its own separate purchase.

Detail 05

Print edition

Page turns matter in performance. Photocopying for a folder isn't legal, so plan around the layout.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Piano accompaniment and any backing tracks are not part of this book
  2. 02Confirm your contest list actually includes pieces from this collection
  3. 03You need enough reading ability to work through a piece unassisted

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What level is this?

Early. It's book one of a graded series, aimed at students who can already read and produce a steady tone.

02Does it include piano accompaniment?

Accompaniment is published separately from the solo part. Buy the piano book too if you're performing with an accompanist.

03Can a cornet player use it?

Yes. Trumpet and cornet share the same B-flat transposition and fingerings, so the part works for either.

04Is this a method book?

No. It's a collection of solo pieces to perform, not a course of instruction. Use it alongside a method, not instead of one.
