Following the huge success of their instrumental method Look, Listen & Learn, Michiel Oldenkamp and Jaap Kastelein have focussed their attention on school bands and devised a completely new method that can be used in both instrumental lessons and class bands or wind ensembles.
Learning Music Together is the new method for young wind players and percussionists, aged eight and above.
Learning Music Together has been developed in close collaboration with professionals from the class band world, music schools, and academies in the Netherlands and Germany.
Learning Music Together combines instrumental lessons with a course for class band. The tuba lessons offer tuba -specific items such as new notes and technical exercises while at the same time supporting the learning of the class band, with a focus on rhythm, melodic structure and playing music together. The method consists of two volumes. Volume One introduces the first instrumental notes in unison and then develops part-playing with duets. Volume Two builds on the skills taught in the first volume and introduces pieces in three parts.In addition, supplementary material is available on the extensive website, e.g. demo- and accompaniment tracks for all pieces, additional pieces of music (well-known songs) and video tutorials. Learning Music Together is logically structured and illustrated in a child-friendly way - a perfect combination for young musicians!

Continuing with the success of the popular Compatible series, Compatible Duets for Winds Volume 2 contains 29 duets in a variety of styles that can be played with any combination of two wind instruments. Students can develop their chamber-ensemble skills while playing with their friends, no matter what wind instruments they play. Ranging from grade levels 2-3, Compatible Duets for Winds Volume 2 is perfect for band directors looking for new tools for the classroom, and its flexibility makes it a must-have for any wind player.Having students play in small chamber music groups is a very beneficial exercise to improvethe student’s overall musicianship. The simplest form of chamber music is the duet. It is anopportunity for the student to play with a teacher or to play with another student of similarabilities. Aspects of playing such as tone quality, intonation, technique and ensemble skillscan be developed during the process of studying duets.These duets are different in that they have many different performance options, since all ofthe books in this series are compatible. As a former middle-school band director I alwayshad students that wanted to come to the band room during lunch or after school; studentswho just wanted to play with their friends. That was not possible since there was very littleduet material available that was compatible with all of the wind instruments. This bookand the first volume in the series take care of that. A student can now grab their friend,no matter what instrument they play, and have hours of fun playing duets together. Mostimportantly, they will learn something in the process.The duets have been generally placed in the book in order of difficulty and cover a rangeof keys that are appropriate for this ability level. Special care was given to making surethat both of the duet parts were on a similar ability level and that each line was givenan opportunity to play a lead role at some point during the arrangement. Also, most ofthe musical markings are attached to both systems, and the point size of the music wasconsidered for ease of reading.It is my hope that this collection will help to stimulate and enhance the musicianship of theperformers. It was a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to put together this collection.I hope it is a useful tool for you for years to come.
