This informative and stimulating volume with CD on the art and craft of composing will be welcomed by anyone who is learning to compose and is especially suitable for those taking secondary school music examinations. Two well-established music educators, James Rae and Mike Cornick, both of whom are composers with a combined wealth of teaching, have produced a practical and supportive resource to meet the needs of developing composers. The included CD contains over 100 recorded examples directly related to the text, as well as two play-along tracks for jazz improvisation.

Focusing on early music education, this book features fifteen original duet pieces that introduce players to various blues styles. Designed for musicians of modest ability, both parts maintain equal importance and difficulty, encouraging accurate stylistic interpretation. Additionally, a transposed second part allows for performances with alto and tenor saxophones, enhancing the collaborative experience.

Over sixty original studies in a variety of jazz styles. A systematic, methodical approach that helps you to play stylish Jazz right from the beginning. The book is divided into three sections; part One introduces the beginner to jazz rhythms, including swing quavers, syncopation and displaced accents. Part Two contains twenty carefully graded melodic jazz studies to assist in the formulation of physical techniques and skills. Part Three Improvisation and Blues encourages the budding Jazz flutist to use these studies as the basis for further creative jazz improvisation.
