Wider Opportunities with the Debut series

INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP LEARNING
All of these pieces for young alto saxophonists in their earliest stages of learning can be performed as a solo or in unison with others. Some have an optional 2nd part and may also serve as ensemble material.

MIXED ENSEMBLE OPTION
Whilst written specifically for the instrument and addressing the challenges beginners would encounter, a special section is included of four pieces which are “key friendly” for beginners on most instruments and are therefore ideal pieces for mixed instrumental groups. These same four pieces will appear in subsequent books for other instruments in the Debut series.

For the Pupil
Instrumental parts with fun cartoons for inspiration
A CD providing stimulating demonstration performances for listening as well as “minus-one” accompaniments for playing along at home
Cartoons can be DOWNLOADED FOR FREE for colouring in

For the Teacher
