If you don\u2019t know where to start, start here, If you\u2019re stuck in your study, continue here. If you\u2019ve run out of ideas on what to play, tackle something from here.<\/p>\n<p>Note that most of these books contain a big range in difficulty. That\u2019s why it\u2019s hard to classify these in difficulty levels. So, if you\u2019re an absolute beginner stick to the beginner and band methods. On the other hand, if you\u2019re an intermediate or advanced player feel free to jump into the other books.

As you can see, I&#8217;ve included some information about each solo to give you a better idea of what to expect, including tempo, range, key and time signature and my personal notes. The tempos here refer to tempo changes throughout the piece, so if it says 52-152bpm be prepared to play that full range. These solos are what I consider to be checkpoints for technique and general skill, so if you want to see where your are, tackle these!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1524&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_border&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_tabs interval=&#8221;0&#8243; type=&#8221;rd_tab_3&#8243;][vc_tab title=&#8221;Easy&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;a102b609-e781-0&#8243;][vc_column_text font_size=&#8221;16&#8243;]<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cCalm as the Night\u201d by Carl Bohm (available in the book \u201cConcert and Contest Collection\u201d)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Tempo: quarter note at 86<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Range: Fifth line F<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Key Signature: no flats, no sharps<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Time Signature: 6\/4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cCountry Dance\u201d by F.J Haydn (available in the book \u201cKendor Recital Solos\u201d)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Tempo: quarter note at 110<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Range: 1 sharp<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Key Signature: fourth line D<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Time Signature: 3\/4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cPastorale\u201d by Charles Burney (available in the book \u201cKendor Recital Solos\u201d)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Tempo: quarter note at 88<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Range: fourth space E<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Key Signature: no flats, no sharps<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Time Signature: 3\/4<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;Intermediate&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;173bfc48-c0d9-8&#8243;][vc_column_text font_size=&#8221;16&#8243;]<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cA Trumpeter\u2019s Lullaby\u201d by Leroy Anderson<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Tempo: half note at 60bpm<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Range: A above staff<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Key Signature: 1 sharp<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Time Signature: cut time<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Other: must be able to jump from low to higher notes with ease and have good breath control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cAdagio and Allegro Marziale\u201d by G.F Handel<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Tempo: quarter note at 69, half note at 112<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Range: G above staff<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Key Signature: up to 1 flat<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Time Signature: 3\/4 and Cut Time<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Other: must be able to read and play 16th notes in cut time<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cPetit Piece Concertante\u201d by Guillaume Balay<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Tempo: quarter note at 72-112bpm<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Range: G above staff<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Key Signature: up to 4 flats<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Time Signature: 2\/4<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Other: must be able to read a lot of accidentals, have quick fingers and good understanding of 16th note rhythms.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;Advanced&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1490993320587-2-9&#8243;][vc_column_text font_size=&#8221;16&#8243;]<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cFantasie en Mi Bemol\u201d by J.Ed Barat<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Tempo: quarter note at 76-96<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Range: A above staff<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Key Signature: up to 4 flats<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Time Signature: 4\/4, 6\/8, 3\/8<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Other: must have a clear understanding of rhythm in 6\/8, very good general rhythm accuracy and reliable flexibility over a wide range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u201cConcert Etude\u201d by A.
