The Fancy Mix - from Baroque to World Music project aims to widen the repertoire specifically composed for saxophone beginners by also extending it to folk music and non-Western styles. The authors, both professors at music conservatories, have combined their respective experiences as composers and performers of classical, jazz and contemporary music in order to create 14 short original compositions for alto sax and piano accompaniment. These pieces are grouped in two volumes and ordered according to their degree of difficulty: the easiest and easy pieces for beginners on academic courses and at secondary schools as well as for amateurs (Vol.1); medium difficulty pieces for pupils on higher courses (Vol.2). Each piece, focused on one or more specific aspects of the instrumental technique, combines the gradually mastering of these together with an in-depth look at the musical interpretation, introducing the student to the practice of improvisation (Vol.2). Each of them is preceded by some performance notes and preparatory exercises focused on specific technical aspects.

The Belgian composer Nicholas Lens presents extremely varied etudes, exercises and simple phrases with wonderfully telling titles from poetry and everyday world for children and adults. For the most part the studies are tonal and simple and have no constructed line. They are not based on any educational concept but leave the musical dramatization to the pupils and teachers: 'Notes and rhythms are just notes and rhythms, they do not have that many rules, they do not have any pretension, they are just tools for you to use to express what you want to share'.

Duos for Violin and Cello Vol. 7 Songs from Various Nations is an around-the-world trip in 11 new compositions by Laszlo Rossa. We travel from far-away Tatarstan to the Lapland in Finland and further to Ireland, France and Central Europe. Special emphasis is given to characters of the national styles. The uneven meters of Balkan dances, the embellishments of slow Serbian lament, and the quick feet of the Dutch song-dance all develop understanding of the musical world through one's own instrument. The Duos for Violin and Cello is an important addition to the Colourstrings(r) materials.

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 baritone lessons offer baritone -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!
