Alfred Music, the world leader in educational print music publishing since 1922, proudly announces the release of Sound Artistry Intermediate Method, a fresh, modern approach for individual or like-instrument group instruction.
Written by Peter Boonshaft and Chris Bernotas and backed by collaborative partners and specialist teachers, this revolutionary method features lessons suitable for intermediate to advanced players with a focus on instrument-specific exercises—perfect for use after any method book to bridge the gap to conservatory methods.
This new method includes 12 independent books that focus on skill reinforcement, individual progress, and growth using a comprehensive, sequential, and logical approach. Exercises include scales, arpeggios, instrument-specific exercises, technical exercises, etudes, and duets. Sound Artistry is available for: Flute • Oboe • Bassoon • Clarinet • Bass Clarinet • Saxophone • French Horn • Trumpet • Trombone • Euphonium B.C. • Euphonium T.C. • Tuba.
