These little educational pieces were written for various woodwind instruments at grades 1 and 2 levels. They were written in 1992 especially for Brass Wind Publishing, along with a number of other British contemporary composers. With titles such as Stepping Out Towards the Blue Horizon, Variations on a Lament and Nostalgic Waltz, they exploit different characteristics of woodwind instruments, from the rhythmic to the lyrical, and give young players the opportunity to develop an understanding of simple contemporary music.
