Recommended by horn teacher for G7/G8 player.

Really great book! Covers every area of technique

Well, it has a list of ABRSM scales and arpeggios for grades 1-5. It does tell you what will be asked, how many octaves and such, but not much different than just having a list if you know theory (and by the they should know it). I play violin so i got this for my son’s bassoon class because i know nothing of wind instruments.

A great book, a whole series of warm up exercises (and cool down as well), and nice ways to think about some of the classic trumpet solos.

perfect

I play the bassoon and bought these to play with my 9 year old grandson who is learning the bassoon.They arrived very promptly (as usual with Emerson's) and he loved them. Very easy but effective.

We were running short on repertoire for a Christmas concert and this fits the bill perfectly. Sounds a bit showy and should go down very well with an audience - and fun to play. About 15 minutes long

A very attractive fun little piece. Good encore material.

This is the second copy I have bought of these three settings of Vaughan Williams carols. In my opinion they are absolutely beautiful.

The funniest music you can imagine, equally demanding for all players, game in the best sense

Enjoyable 1ST Mov and mostly in middle to high register.Beautiful slow Mov in middle to high register with nice melodies throughout. Great lively last Mov.

Mostly in the middle range. Nice piece for Concert. Not too difficult.

Great piece.Good piece to improve your flexibility.Middle to high register.

Nice last Mov.Great for a Concert piece.Not too difficult.

Nice piece. Not too difficult.One top C which is optional otherwise a good Concert piece.

Some very good pieces of a good standard and a good and ideal for Grade 6+ student.

The work is Trio for clarinet, sax. and piano by Leon Stein. We were over the moon to find June Emerson has it in stock when we couldn't find it anywhere else! The score comes with separate parts; clarinet and sax. are written in concert pitch in the piano part, which is reader-friendly for the pianist. Reading the manuscript score takes some getting used to for us. Nonetheless, it has been fun learning the work.

The only other edition of the Carlo Yvon Cor Anglais Sonata I’ve seen doesn’t have the cor part on the piano part, which is a bit of a nightmare! This new (to me) edition is excellent with both parts clearly printed. As usual, June Emerson delivered very promptly - much appreciated. Thank you!

Delivered on time, reads and formatted well.

Reads and formatted well. Originally shipped without solo part, but was reshipped promptly.

Great transcription for winds

Daily Fundamentals for Trumpet is written by Michael Sachs, principal trumpet of the Cleveland Orchestra since 1988, and is a great general workout for intermediate to advanced players. It has sections on various aspects of playing, such as long tones, articulation, lip slurs, scales, chromatics, interval etc., and has some useful advice on using the Clarke and Arban studies in your daily practice. I particularly like the suggestions for warm-up routines of different lengths depending on how much time you have available. There's a lot of great advice in the accompanying text, and some useful thoughts on approaching the solo repertoire of the Haydn and Hummel Concertos. All in all, a really useful book, distilling the wisdom of one of the great orchestral trumpeters.

This is a real gem, great for a concertu

Lovely piece, fun and worthwhile

Interesting book! In a world of so many trumpet books that are mostly rephrasing or repackaging of the essentially the same content, it's a refreshing change to read something that brings some truly new input to the subject.

The flute section of the Humber Wind Band had fun performing Toot Sweets in our recent 'Suites and Treats' concert. All very able players, they found it straightforward to put together and the audience were delighted with the result.

This is an excellent book, but it is not a light read. Professional players who studied with Mr. Jacobs explain the methods that he used to help them. By its very nature, this can become very technical.

Good service. Previous flute ensemble at Stokesley School loved this piece, so will try it soon with York Flute Ensemble.

We have played one of these pieces for grade 6 and decided to play the rest of the suite to gain context. An inspiring and rewarding group of pieces.

Liked this work. Very tuneful although a little repetitive in places. Well written for the instrument, quite high level of difficulty

Great showpiece for two bassoons, both solo parts of fairly equal difficulty. First movement very long.
Nice clear print, but had to make a few copies for page turns.

Nicely printed edition of an unfamiliar work, but one which is very much worthwhile getting to know, Musically interesting and technically challenging (you also need an excellent pianist), but very rewarding. Be aware that the edition contains a number of errors - most relatively obvious - where it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't (if in doubt check against online performances). Service from June Emerson excellent.

Beautiful writing and one of Nicola LeFanu's earlier compositions. It's harmony moves from diatonic clarity into the shaded world of microtones. Each saxophone has it's own solo section and S,A,T has a small section of relatively high harmonics. It's around 15 minutes long and a brilliant piece of music.

I ordered the Latin American impressions as had played them with my sister 45 years ago as .music students. We’ve always enjoyed the vibrancy of these pieces. They are a joy to play. I have used June Emerson for all these years and never been disappointed. Thank you for your wonderful service over the years. You got me through my early years of music exams right through my teaching years to retirement. Many thanks for your help and support throughout those years.

I've tried all of the well-known clarinet tutor books and this is still my favourite for beginner students. By then end of Book 1, they know all of the low register notes from bottom E up to throat Bb and can play the Pink Panther. I also like that it spends plenty of time on dotted rhythms, which a lot of beginners seem to find challenging.

My attention was drawn to this piece by a YT recording of Anneke Scott on the natural horn. I really enjoy this music which could also be an opus by Beethoven. The delivery by Juneemerson was fast and smooth although I live ourside the UK

Nice clear and sensible organisation of the music for easy reading and page turns.
However there were a few errata that have crept in.

This is not an easy piece of music to find however this was sourced and delivered in no time at all . Fabulous piece of music , thanks to the the team for all their help !

Excellent service ,quick and easy and great range of wind music .fabulous sonata

Rachel Brown took on a daunting task when she undertook to explore the three hundred or so flute sonatas written for Frederick, King of Prussia by Johann Quantz which has so far resulted in two volumes of six sonatas each. Each volume comes within a container which consists of two copies of the flute part combined with the basso continuo (cello) part, the keyboard part (the basso continuo realized) and facsimiles of the sonatas from the San Souci manuscripts upon which the modern editions are based. There are informative notes on performance discussing tempo, cadenzas, ornamentation, trills, etc. in the back of the flute part. The keyboard part also has informative notes as well. Volume One and Two are for more scholarly flutists who want to be challenged in the correct/enlightened interpretation of Baroque sonatas. Definitely not for the average high school student. There are several modern collections of Quantz flute sonatas that will meet their needs that are not a technically demanding.

This book is Einstein's Theory Of Relativity adapted for oboe reeds. It is 500+pages long and weighs 3 lbs. Really! My first response when I got it was "If it takes 500 pages to understand oboe reeds, then I will probably never understand them". All kidding aside, you won't find a more comprehensive book on the physics and details of making of reeds and playing the oboe. Yes, I did say "Physics", for example, Chapter 16A, "The Acoustics Of The Reed". Every aspect of reed making and even playing, are examined in detail, from gouger and staple selection to the intricacies of scraping. European or American style? No problem. Lots to read on each. Want to adjust a note? A whole chapter and a chart illustrates where on the reed you should scrape. What do pro oboist's reeds look like? 16 pages of backlit photos of their reeds if part of the book. And it goes on. Comprehensive "Contents" and "Index" makes it easy to find information in this tome. "Understanding the Oboe Reed" is an excellent reference book probably unequaled by any other oboe book available. It's for those serious about playing the "ill wind that no one blows good". One or two gems you find in this encyclopedic mine of knowledge could change your oboe life.

Great arrangement and a good quality set. Super quick delivery as always. Thanks

This is a good challenging piece, melodic, quirky. Goes high for the 1st part (incentive to learn more top notes), interesting putting the parts together. Pleased with the purchase.

Really music to put student skills to the test

Excellent service as usual and the quality of this item is A1.
It is a goal to play it soon with my husband singing it.

The Art of Brassplaying is the book every brass teacher should have, also a good book for brass players who wonders about embouchure and playing technique.

This arrangement worked very well and was perfect for a little salon event. It’s tricky finding music for wind quintet minus flute….this fitted the bill perfectly.

Excellent settings of Scottish melodies suitable for any occasion.

Short of buying a tárogató and a cimbalom, you won't get much more authentic Hungarian fun than this piece offers for clarinet and piano. We played it to a Hungarian musician friend who said "Fantastic! It's so Hungarian I can taste sour cream and paprika when I listen to it
