Keden Helmke Jan Kaufmann Philipp Matthias: SYMPHONICLASS

The music classes that are sprouting up everywhere are sure to find this to their liking: seven highly varied works and arrangements for larger ensembles with carefully selected alternative settings. This is “SymphoniClass”! True to the proven system of “Breitkopf Pädagogik,” the music edition contains the conducting score while the part material is found on the enclosed CD-ROM.

But there’s more to the didactic value of “SymphoniClass,” since the book not only features pieces to play in an ensemble; it also provides in each arrangement special reference points concerning the teaching curricula that forms the backbone of general music teaching. The authors’ didactic comments (in German and English!) approach this topic with great care.
