Horn Solos Book 1 includes 19 pieces of music, with solos graded from the very beginnings up to intermediate level. The early pieces are written or arranged so that beginners can play along with the piano from the first weeks, allowing a good sense of rhythm and intonation to develop. Most of the later pieces have been extracted from the established horn repertoire, giving keen students the chance to try them in arrangements friendly to a developing technique. Brief notes have been included at the back of the book to give a little background to each piece and some ideas for interpretation.

A work of rare honesty and dignity (Fintan O'Toole, New York Daily News), Mr. Peters' Connections uncoils with ferocious, life-affirming intensity.
