More about this title

About the Composer: Chris M. Bernotas

Chris M. Bernotas

Chris M. Bernotas directs instrumental publications at Alfred Music, where he shapes curriculum and repertoire for band and orchestra programs worldwide. His twenty-five years in music education inform every composition, blending musicality with real classroom awareness. Bernotas understands what students need to grow because he has taught them; he knows what directors face because he has stood in their rehearsal rooms.

As a guest conductor and clinician, Bernotas leads honor ensembles and workshops that help directors and students discover fresh approaches to their craft. His compositions and co-authored resources—including Sound Innovations Soloist, Sound Artistry, and Sound Performance—have become foundational texts in music education. He remains an active advocate for the teaching musician, presenting regularly on conducting, composition, and pedagogy while his works continue to resonate in concert halls from youth groups to advanced ensembles.

Why we love this

Each solo comes with Sound Advice from its composer, offering specific performance guidance that saves rehearsal time and deepens student understanding of the music's intent. The collection spans genuine stylistic variety—not shallow genre markers, but distinctive compositional voices that make each solo rewarding to prepare and perform. Pairing the printed book with free SI Online access and optional MakeMusic Cloud integration means your students get professional accompaniments, preparatory exercises, and recordings without additional purchase.

What to expect

These solos feel like real music, not exercises. They invite you into different moods and styles while staying within your technical reach. Preparing one builds confidence because the accompaniments and composer guidance make success achievable.

Who it's for

Intermediate flute students preparing repertoire for concerts, festivals, or solo recitals. Teachers seeking original solos that offer genuine musical interest without overwhelming technical demands.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the Sound Advice section for your chosen solo before the first rehearsal; the composer's coaching tips address the exact technical and musical challenges built into that piece.
  • Use the online accompaniment recordings to establish steady pulse and hear your part in context, then practice without the track to build independence.
  • Work through any preparatory exercises available in MakeMusic Cloud if you have access; they target the specific skills your solo demands.
  • Record yourself playing and listen critically for balance between technical accuracy and musical shape—these intermediate solos reward both.

How to use it

Build a solo recital featuring two or three of these pieces, or program one as a featured student performance in a concert alongside your larger ensembles. Use them as contest selections where the variety allows you to match each student's strengths to the right piece.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and performing solos with piano accompaniment
  • Independence from ensemble contexts
  • Style and interpretation across multiple compositional voices
  • Technical control in intermediate ranges and moderate tempos
  • Confidence in performance and recital settings
