Standard of Excellence: Festival Solos, Book 3, Bb Clarinet

Festival Solos Books 1, 2, and 3, by Bruce Pearson, Mary Elledge, and Dave Hagedorn, are collections of outstanding solo arrangements of classic literature from master composers—ideal for contests, festivals, concerts, and private study. Each part book includes demonstration and play-along recordings, with a piano accompaniment book also purchasable separately. SmartMusic, a MakeMusic subscription-based interactive assessment software program that provides students with instant performance feedback, is available for Festival Solos Books 1, 2, and 3. The Complete Assessment Manual (W39T) rubrics look to the SmartMusic score as one component of evaluation.
