About this collection
Pop Instrumental Solos Series Sheet Music
The Pop Instrumental Solos Series brings beloved movie and Broadway themes to solo musicians at intermediate levels. Each book includes online audio and software so you can hear professional performances and play along. These solos sit at Grades 2-3, making them perfect for students ready to move beyond beginner books but still building technique. John Williams' arrangements dominate the collection, capturing the drama and energy of some of cinema's greatest scores.
Who it's for
- Intermediate students (Grades 2-3) seeking recognizable, engaging repertoire
- Private instructors looking for motivating solos between method books
- School band and orchestra directors building pop and film music units
What's inside
- Solos for eight instruments: flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola, cello
- Book with online audio and software accompaniment included with each purchase
- Popular themes from Harry Potter movies and Star Wars films (both original and recent trilogies)
Things to consider
These solos work best for students who have finished their first method book but aren't yet ready for Grade 3-4 concert repertoire. The online audio lets students hear a professional performance before learning the part, then play along with a backing track. If your group performs these together, confirm you have the right transposition (concert pitch vs. B-flat vs. E-flat) for your ensemble mix.
