REPERTOIRE EXPLORER Book 2

As a performer, James Rae has played in many West End and National Theatre productions, played freelance engagements with leading British orchestras and ensembles, and led the Phoenix Saxophone Quartet for a number of years. Most of his composing is directed towards teaching and he is one of Europe's most published writers of educational music with over 120 titles to his name, several of which appear in exam syllabi around the world.

In selecting these pieces from a wide range of classical and modern music and studies, James Rae has kept in mind the technical requirements of the major music exams for each of the grades 4,5 and 6. But for players who are not preparing for exams, these pieces provide an opportunity to explore a wide variety of music which is within their grasp, and to broaden their musical experience.
