Product Description

This book contains 66 songs for the instrumentalist

The Complete Instrumentalist Two is the second book in a series for instrumental players, designed to help develop excellent musicianship.

It is written in stick notation* with an additional five line stave so that pupils or teachers can write out the music in whichever clef or key they choose to use. The songs are grouped by the number of notes in the piece and are mostly diatonic with a few pentatonic and modal pieces.

As with all of the DaCapo books it is left to the teachers to decide which section of the book to start with. Tempos and dynamic markings are also left to the teachers and pupils. We have suggested activities that can be applied to the entire repertoire and there are some extra ideas for specific pieces included on some pages, along with extra information for the pupil.

In many instances the songs have been reworded as it was felt that the subject matter or use of language was a barrier for some pupils. There are a few pieces where this may still be true but we have decided against rewording because of the cultural or historical aspect of the song and the opportunity to educate children beyond the music (e.g. spirituals).

Whilst every attempt has been made to source music in the public domain we would like to know if errors have been made.

We hope that you enjoy the next step to becoming a Complete Instrumentalist.

*stick notation
The purpose of stick notation is to build excellent inner hearing. You can't guess the intervals they have to be known or learned via the solfa in order to hear the music from the page. Pupils can then translate and transfer this to their instrument and then onto a five-line stave.

We show the rhythm only - with solfa syllables under the relevant note
No note head used unless for a minim, dotted minim or semibreve
The home note or tonic of each piece is indicated by an emboldened solfa syllable e.g. d r m f s shows do as the tonic Where notes fall under or above the home note or tonic, they are indicated thus: s, d
A tick( I ) has been used instead of bar lines.
