Music for Small Ensembles - Book 3 Preview

This music book offers adaptable and engaging pieces for both recorder and mallet players, making it ideal for ensembles with mixed instrumentation or all-recorder groups. Each composition can be played on recorders or mallet instruments like xylophones, allowing for flexibility based on your group’s strengths, instrument preferences, and availability. If your group has only recorders - no problem!

To ensure effective final rehearsals and polished performances, use the provided playback track. Pair the accompaniment (which excludes the student part) with your students' live playing. The recordings seamlessly complement young ensembles, enhancing their sound and helping them appear experienced and mature.

This collection is an excellent resource for elementary music educators seeking to create versatile ensembles and teach students adaptable musical skills. Featuring original, never-before-heard compositions, it’s perfect for concert performances that will both impress audiences and showcase your students’ growth and abilities.
