Summary of This Book
Designed to encourage collective practice from the earliest years, this collection offers 19 trio pieces carefully adapted to an easy to intermediate level. The goal is simple: to enable students to play together quickly while developing essential skills such as listening to other parts, sound balance, steady tempo, and precision in phrase beginnings and endings. Thanks to its particularly flexible concept, this material is suitable both for group pedagogy and small ensemble rehearsals, and can even be used in solo or duo versions when the ensemble is incomplete.
The repertoire is based on familiar themes, which facilitates memorization and musicality from the first readings. It includes classics such as Country Garden, God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen, Mexican Hat Dance, Sailor's Hornpipe, and When The Saints Go Marching In, alongside pieces inspired by the great repertoire (Mozart, Dvorak, Rimsky-Korsakov, Schumann, Tchaikovsky). The arrangements alternate between classical, folk, and jazz colors, allowing work on articulation, accents, phrasing, and dynamics in very different contexts, while maintaining the joy of playing.
This volume can also be combined with "corresponding" books offering the same content adapted to other instrument families (brass, saxophone, clarinet, flute), which is practical for forming mixed ensembles on a common repertoire. To go further, an optional piano accompaniment is available, useful for supporting practice, reinforcing harmony, and adding more breadth to class performances or auditions.
