Sound Innovations for Concert Band: Ensemble Development

About This Collection

Description

Peter Boonshaft and Chris Bernotas have built Sound Innovations for Concert Band: Ensemble Development into a comprehensive series covering young and intermediate concert bands across all the standard instruments. The Flute Book for intermediate ensembles has become a standard adoption, along with the Clarinet and Trumpet books for both levels. This series focuses on building musicianship and ensemble skills through literature that balances technical development with musical growth.

Highlights

Teachers keep coming back to the Intermediate Concert Band books, particularly the Flute Book and B-flat Trumpet 1 Book by Peter Boonshaft. The Young Concert Band materials, including the Clarinet and Trumpet books, are equally popular with directors building newer ensembles. Every major instrument family is covered, with comprehensive part books for clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, flute, horn, and bassoon.
