Starke Töne

Hären, lesen & spielen is the individual wind instrument school for 15 different instruments, which can be used in individual or group lessons. The proven method is compiled according to current rules and requirements of music education. It contains many games, puzzles, exercises, songs and original compositions. With the accompanying recordings, practicing is of course twice as much fun! These are available in MP3 format for download or streaming; access to the MP3 tracks (access code in the book) is included in the purchase price.
In addition to the rhythmic expansion to sixteenth notes and the introduction of 6/8 time, the second volume also includes the chromatic expansion of the range. Instrument-specific exercises and playing techniques, such as warm-up training, embouchure exercises, overblowing, buzzing, lip bindings and much more, get the young players fit.Starke Töne is a collection that was created in cooperation with the Bläserjugend of the Bund Deutscher Blasmusikverbände (BDB). The collection contains a selection of the most popular titles from the literature lists for the Bronze (D1) and Junior Young Musicians' Performance Badge. The advantages are obvious: with this book, instrumentalists not only save valuable preparation time, but also money, because those who previously had to buy several booklets have now collected the best in one volume with Starke Töne.

In each edition, every piece is notated with a piano accompaniment; original solo pieces have been specially provided with a newly composed accompaniment. The piano part is generally easy to moderately difficult, so that the accompaniment can also be played by slightly advanced piano students. Furthermore, all piano accompaniments – that have been professionally recorded on a real concert grand piano – are available online at Mylibrary.com.

This is the best way to prepare for performance exams. In addition to recordings at the original tempo, most of the pieces have also been recorded at slower tempos. In collaboration with the BDB, Starke Töne is a valuable collection for all wind instruments and piano as well as for percussion, which of course also enriches the teaching and performance repertoire for each of these instrumentations independently of the performance badges.
