About this collection
Accent on Achievement, Pop, Rock, and Movie Instrumental Solos
Popular songs and movie themes make perfect motivation for young band and orchestra students learning to play independently. The Accent on Achievement Pop, Rock, and Movie Instrumental Solos collection gives beginning to intermediate musicians (Levels 1-3) a chance to perform recognizable melodies on their own. Each book pairs sheet music with an accompanying CD, so students can play along with professional recordings or practice without ensemble support. Available for flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn, and trombone, these solos bridge the gap between method book exercises and real repertoire.
Who it's for
- Beginning band and orchestra students discovering solo repertoire
- Private lesson teachers looking for motivating solo material
- Band directors seeking supplemental pieces beyond the method book
What's inside
- 7 instrumental books covering flute, clarinet, both saxophones, trumpet, horn, and trombone
- Grades 1-3 solos arranged from pop and rock songs plus movie soundtracks
- Book and CD format for each instrument, so students can play with recorded accompaniment
Things to consider
These solos work best for students who have completed the early pages of their method book and are ready for something more engaging than exercise material. The CD accompaniments let students perform independently without requiring a pianist or accompanist, which makes them ideal for practice motivation at home or in studio lessons. If you need multiple students to play together, pair these solos with the ensemble arrangements from the same collection.
