Description
The practical collection of competition solos that are included in this book were selected from state competition lists throughout the United States. While each selection is included on the list of at least one state, check with your director, private instructor or state music association to confirm that your desired solo is an approved selection in your state. The piano book includes alternate accompaniments for instruments of different pitch and therefore can be used for any instrument in the book three series. Codes to download audio are included on each solo book. Titles included: The Young Prince; Viennese Sonatina No. 1 (Allegro); Flower of the Orient; The King's Jester; Two Short Pieces; Spirit of Victory; Barcarolle and Scherzetto; Sparkles; Waltz from Album for the Young.

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, Competition Solos, Book 2 Trumpet, Tenor Sax or Euphonium TC: Trumpet Book comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

More about this title

Why we love this

This collection cuts through the guesswork of competition prep. Every solo appears on at least one state's official competition list, so you're not hunting through catalogs hoping something qualifies. The range of styles keeps students engaged through the learning process, and the downloadable audio lets players hear what they're working toward without requiring accompanist availability.

What to expect

These solos range from lyrical and dancing (Barcarolle, Waltz) to spirited and rhythmic (The King's Jester, Spirit of Victory). You'll find tender moments in The Young Prince and Flower of the Orient alongside lighter character pieces that let players show off articulation and clarity without drowning in technical extremes.

Who it's for

Intermediate trumpet players preparing for regional or state solo competitions. This book serves students in their second or third year of study who can handle Grade 2.5 repertoire with reasonable independence and need state-approved material that actually matches their skill level.

How to get the most out of it

  • Download the audio files early and listen through all nine solos multiple times before assigning. Your students will practice differently once they've heard the musical shape and pacing.
  • Use the flexible accompaniment book strategically. If a student struggles with a particular solo, rehearse it with the piano part to isolate phrasing and articulation choices.
  • Mark your state's approved selections on the book cover so students know which solos are eligible for their competition year. This prevents mid-season surprises.
  • Stagger assignment dates so you're not coaching multiple students through similar technical passages simultaneously. The variety in styles makes this easy to manage.

How to use it

Assign one or two solos per student in early fall, leaving time for deep work through winter. Schedule mock competitions in January or February so players experience the format before their official competition date. Consider featuring one or two of these pieces on your concert program in spring to build momentum and celebrate the work.

Skills your students will build

  • Sight-reading intermediate-level solo literature
  • Phrasing and musical interpretation across diverse styles
  • Rhythmic clarity and articulation control
  • Performance stamina over 3-5 minute pieces
  • Memorization for competition format
  • Collaboration with piano accompaniment
