In my experience as an instrumental music teacher, I found that having students play insmall chamber-music groups was a very beneficial exercise to improve the students’ overallmusicianship. One of the simplest form of chamber music is a trio. It is an opportunity forthe student to play with other students of similar abilities. Aspects of playing such as tonequality, intonation, technique and ensemble skills can be developed during the process ofstudying trios.The trios in this collection are different in that they have many different performanceoptions, since all of the books in this series are compatible. As a former middle-schoolband director I always had students who wanted to come to the band room during lunchperiod or after school; eager students who simply wanted to play music with their friends.However, that was not possible at the time, since there was very little trio material availablethat was compatible with all of the wind instruments. This book takes care of that. Astudent can now grab a few fellow musicians, no matter what instrument they might play,and have hours of fun playing trios together. Most importantly, they will learn a great dealabout music-making in the process.The trios have been generally placed in the book in order of difficulty and cover a range ofkeys that are appropriate for this ability level. Special care was given to make sure that allparts were on a similar ability level. Also, most of the musical markings are attached to allsystems and the point size of the music was considered 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.
