Summary of This Book
Starter Solos is an educational collection designed to make learning stimulating from the start. The structured presentation guides the student through essential playing techniques, with short and progressive pieces emphasizing musicality, rhythmic accuracy, and phrasing quality. The solos, composed by Philip Sparke, provide an ideal playground to develop listening skills, consistency, and expression, while remaining at an accessible difficulty level.
One of the major strengths of this book lies in its approach to accompanied practice. The included compact disc offers two tracks for each piece: a complete performance to build a sound model, and an accompaniment-only track to work on autonomy and timing. Combined with the printed piano accompaniment parts, this setup allows for varied playing situations: individual practice, rehearsals with piano, or home training with audio support. The result: the student progresses with enjoyment, consolidates their fundamentals, and discovers the pleasure of making music "in context" from their very first readings.
