More about this title

Why we love this

This collection solves a genuine logistics problem for trombone and bassoon teachers: it gathers state-approved competition solos in one book, eliminating the scramble to hunt down scattered repertoire lists. The writing sits squarely in the Grade 2.5 sweet spot where students can tackle musically rewarding pieces without drowning in technical complexity. The included audio access lets students hear clean, pedagogically sound interpretations before stepping up to the podium.

What to expect

This collection spans character and mood with ease. Lyrical pieces like "Barcarolle" invite cantabile playing and expressive phrasing, while "The King's Jester" and "Sparkles" offer lighter, more playful textures. The variety keeps rehearsals fresh and gives students a genuine choice in which solo to pursue.

Who it's for

Trombone and bassoon players preparing for state competitions or festival solos at the Grade 2.5 level. Directors and private instructors building a curated solo program will appreciate the state-vetted selections that bypass hours of research.

How to get the most out of it

  • Confirm your selected solo appears on your state's current competition list before committing rehearsal time; state lists shift, and your director or private instructor can verify approval in seconds.
  • Use the download codes to access recordings for each solo, which serve as reliable performance models and help students internalize style and phrasing before memorizing.
  • Pair the trombone or bassoon book with the flexible piano accompaniment book, which provides alternate voicings suited to the transposition of your instrument.

How to use it

Build a winter or spring solo recital around these selections, or use them as preparation pieces for competitive festivals. The breadth of styles makes it simple to program solos that showcase different facets of a player's musicianship within a single recital.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustained legato phrasing in slow movements
  • Articulation clarity and control in faster passages
  • Dynamic shaping and musical expression at Grade 2.5 difficulty
  • Ensemble listening and balance with piano accompaniment
  • Sight-reading foundational solo repertoire forms (sonatina, character pieces)
