Philip Sparke’s SKILFUL SOLOS is the second volume of a progressive series of solo books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician.

Following on from STARTER SOLOS, and preceeding SUPER SOLOS, this collection lection generally contains longer pieces suitable for the developing young musician. Specifically tailored for each instrument, SKILFUL SOLOS introduces the concept of phrasing by suggesting suitable breathing points and takes the player into new keys with extended instrumental ranges, new notes being introduced in a gradual and logical fashion.
