SOUND INNOVATIONS FOR CONCERT BAND (Grades ½–2, Very Easy–Medium Easy)

The Sound Innovations for Concert Band series provides stimulating selections for beginning and developing bands

that reinforce newly learned notes, articulations, key signatures, rhythmic patterns, musical terms, and symbols, covering a wide variety of musical styles. Each piece correlates with specific levels in Sound Innovations for Concert Band, our revolutionary new band method, but may also be used in conjunction with other instructional methods. Each arrangement includes a reproducible educational pack and an optional piano accompaniment part.

DEBUT (Grades ½–1½, Very Easy–Easy)

When your beginning performers are feeling more comfortable playing together as an ensemble and are ready to perform slightly more challenging music, Alfred’s Debut Series for young bands

is the ideal choice. Suited for first- and second-year players, this series is in full-score format with reduced instrumentation.

CHALLENGER (Grades 1½–2, Easy–Medium Easy)

Designed to bridge the gap between grade 1 music and works requiring multi-part independence, these rich-sounding, solid selections are ideal for second- and third-year bands

and feature a variety of styles and textures. Each piece is playable with only flute, 2 clarinets, 2 alto saxes, 2 trumpets, trombone, baritone, and percussion. The low brass parts are doubled by tenor sax and low reeds for stability.

YOUNG SYMPHONIC (Grades 2–3, Medium Easy–Medium)

Full-sounding original compositions and transcriptions are provided in this bright and bold symphonic band series. Students are presented with more challenging performance

concepts, both interpretively and technically, that help them to develop overall musicianship with limited instrumentation (2 trumpets, 2 clarinets, 2 trombones, and a single French horn part) while providing a complete sound that delivers satisfying performances.

CONCERT BAND (Grades 3–5, Medium–Advanced)

Designed for concert bands at the high school and collegiate levels, as well as community bands, this series includes original compositions and arrangements by a number of well-known

composers. Each work is chosen for its musicality, uniqueness, and appropriateness for the serious concert program.

World and supplemental parts are available at alfred.com/WorldParts. World parts are available as a free download including string bass, contra bass & contra alto clarinets, alto clarinet & more.
