Hal Leonard Michael Jackson - Instrumental Solos

Summary of This Collection

This collection with CD from the Instrumental Play-Along series is aimed at flutists who wish to approach a pop & rock repertoire in a concrete and stimulating way. The "play-along" approach places the student at the heart of the music: you play the flute part supported by recorded accompaniments, which helps develop listening skills, timing, and the energy typical of contemporary styles.

Throughout the pieces, this resource encourages comprehensive practice: intonation in sensitive areas of the instrument, breath control consistency, clean attacks, as well as more modern articulation (accents, detached notes, slurs) to make the playing more expressive. It is also an excellent tool for learning to "hold your part": counting, anticipating entrances, managing repeats, and staying solid when the accompaniment thickens the musical texture.

Thanks to the CD, practice becomes more autonomous and progressive: you can first familiarize yourself with the character of the piece, then refine rhythmic placement and musicality until achieving a smooth interpretation. The collection is particularly suitable for energizing lesson sessions, enriching a weekly practice program, or preparing an audition with a more "band-like" feel. The instructions and texts are in English, in accordance with the original edition.
