Share the Lead - Trumpet
Young and not-so-young players will enjoy well-known songs and tunes arranged as duets. Both parts have been arranged in a way that ensures playing either part is interesting and musically satisfying – so don’t be surprised to find that part two occasionally has the melody!
All eight pieces have been carefully selected and arranged at an easy level to provide fun material for today’s trumpet players. The arrangements can also be used with other instruments in the series – alto saxophone, clarinet, flute, and violin.
The professionally recorded backing CD allows you to hear each song in four different ways:
- A complete demonstration performance with both duet parts being played over the backing
- Part two and the backing, so you can play along on part one
- Part one and the backing, so you can play along on part two
- Backing only, so you and another player can Share The Lead
Wherever possible we have simplified the more tricky rhythms. If in doubt, listen to the complete performance tracks and follow the style of the players. Marks of expression have been kept to a minimum, but feel free to experiment with these.
