The ABC Clarinet Series provides useful material for the young learner. The lastest addition to the series is Stepping Down, a set of 12 concert pieces for clarinet and piano for the elementary player. These low-register pieces only assume knowledge of the left-hand (middle C to A) and the pieces help to gradually increase the players range downwards through B, Bb, A and G.
The material links in with the ABC Clarinet Tutor with some extended tunes and new material. Also available is A Rocking Week which helps develop good technique for rocking onto the “A” key.

My favourite Christmas arrangement for Saxophones! It covers a range of styles from a heavy, gutsy start, to lyricism and delicacy in the various verses. It can be played as a concert piece or as an accompaniment for a congregational carol. It works well with doubled parts – the more the merrier - but care must be used to maintain the balance – all the parts are so enjoyable to play it is easy to get carried away!
A carol with a message - very plain and simple at the start but with a point to make. Originally intended for young voices, but would adapt well to having adult voices, especially joining in the verse (bar 19). The choir 2 part (3rd time bar) is optional but desirable.
The score is free and I am keen to hear of any performances(email: alun@aluncook.com )

New for 2008 Saxophones is an arrangement of Personent Hodie or you can choose from two traditional Carol arrangements for quartet: God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen or Huron Carol which is a Canadian Carol. If you fancy a baroque flavour there is a transcription of Handel'sUnto us a Son is born from The Messiah
For Wind Band you will find a new Fanfare and Descant to O Come, All Ye Faithful with the complete carol scored for Band. The Brass Fanfare is also available seperately. Featuring two Solo Trumpets, you will find an arrangement of Samuel Scheidt's In Dulci Jubilo, especially good in a resonant acoustic.
For Choirs there are three original Carols available (and they are FREE). 2000 years is for young voices. A Christmas Message has been performed by ages from 7 to 16 and divides into 3 parts. The New Religion subtitled A Shoppers' Carol is for 2 part ladies/boys voices.
