Bravo Flute | 25+ Pieces for Clarinet and Piano | Carol Barratt

Carol Barratt creates easy pieces that are creative, idiomatic and simple and rewarding to play – and that will really get pupils listening and performing musically, right from the beginning. The pieces in Bravo! Clarinet take the student progressively through the early grades. They consist mainly of original material, with a few arrangements too – some well-known, some more unusual. These pieces are intended to encourage the student to perform – rather than merely play – whenever the opportunities arise. All too often, the early stages of learning an instrument can be a solitary process. Wherever possible, these pieces should be played with their keyboard accompaniments. Hearing the keyboard parts will lead to an awareness and appreciation of different musical styles and a sense of harmony, not just melody. In addition, playing with an accompaniment develops the student's ability to maintain his or her own part while listening to another. And of course, it's fun!
