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: Brass Bangles; Caprice; Dancing Silhouettes; Evening in the Country; Ocean Beach (Valse); Polka from Bartered Bride; Viennese Sonata No. 4 (Rondo).

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, Competition Solos, Book 3 Clarinet: Clarinet 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

State competition lists change year to year, and this collection solves the real problem of finding reliable, vetted repertoire that meets official requirements. Harris and Siennicki assembled pieces that actually appear on state lists across the country, so you can confidently assign solos knowing they'll be eligible. The variety of styles within these seven selections means students at the same level can choose based on their strengths and preferences.

What to expect

These solos span from charming character pieces with folk origins (the Polka from Bartered Bride, Ocean Beach Valse) to more formal European structures (Viennese Sonata). The collection balances lyrical passages with moments of technical display, keeping listeners engaged while allowing young players to demonstrate growing control.

Who it's for

Clarinetists preparing for state solo competitions in Grade 3.5 repertoire will find accessible, officially approved options here. Private instructors and school band directors alike can assign from this collection with confidence that selections meet state requirements.

How to get the most out of it

  • Confirm the specific solo is on your state's current competition list before assigning it. Requirements shift annually, and you'll want written approval from your state music association.
  • Use the included audio download codes to familiarize yourself with each piece before the student learns it. Hearing a secure performance model speeds up learning and clarifies interpretation choices.
  • Balance the character pieces (Brass Bangles, Dancing Silhouettes, Evening in the Country) with the more technically demanding selections (Caprice, Viennese Sonata) when assigning to students at this level.

How to use it

Use this as your primary solo selection guide during competition season. The variety of styles and moods means you can program multiple soloists from this book in a single concert without repetition of character, or assign solos strategically based on each student's technical facility and musical maturity.

Skills your students will build

  • Playing in varied European musical styles and forms
  • Sustaining lyrical lines with consistent tone quality
  • Technical articulation at moderate tempos
  • Interpretation of character pieces with distinct moods
  • Sight-reading from standard notation at Grade 3.5 level
