Oops! We've just realised we got our cover colours confused. Our newly launched book - Flying Solo - should have been RED not BLUE! So excited about the launch, we put all our focus on the 12 fab solos inside and missed it.
All sorted now - customers will receive a replacement book with our compliments, and a link to the updated downloadable version has been sent to all our digital purchasers.
The idea was to make things easier by colour-coding the books in our new Steps for 1, 2 and 3 series, grouping them based on the targeted playing standard of the book. So here's the cunning plan:
Blue covers = Prep Test - Grade 3 playing standard
Red covers = Grade 4 - Grade 6 playing standard
We'll be adding to this new solo, duet and trio series in the coming months and will be sure to keep a closer eye on those colour-coded covers in the future!

: THE WATCH ON THE RHINE - solo for Bb cornet/trumpet, baritone or euphonium with piano accompaniment (arr. John Wallace). Based on the famous German patriotic song, John describes it as "a real beauty".
This is an arrangement of one of John Hartmann's lesser known solos, made up of the popular and traditional format of introduction, theme and variations. It's challenging but very satisying!
