Young Band Series
(Grade 2)

Pieces that conform to the limitations of developing players without sounding “dumbed down.” A conservative grade 2 with mature harmonic language and musical development.  Minimal instrumentation required.

These compositions offer a logical transition from standard beginning fare to concert works with musical depth.  They also provide interesting lines for all parts!


Band Expansion Series
(Grade 3-4)

Challenging concert works for bands with instrumentation deficiencies. You get a sound that is indistinguishable from typical concert literature in pieces that can be played with a “skeleton” instrumentation.

Reduced instrumentation can limit the potential of strong players. These works offer a creative, practical solution to bands lacking a full compliment of musicians!

Find inventive program pieces and sensibly written contest works – all playable by bands with instrumentation difficulties.
