Alfred Music Accent on Ensembles Book 1 – Mallet Percussion

Accent on Ensembles, Book 1 – Mallet Percussion is a collection of music for beginning band students by John O’Reilly and Mark Williams. Featuring duets, trios and quartets, the book gives mallet percussion players opportunities to develop their ensemble-playing skills alongside other musicians.

The collection is correlated with Accent on Achievement, Book 1, making it a supplementary resource for students using that band method. Its flexible instrumentation also allows the pieces to be performed by different combinations of compatible instruments.

Ensemble Music for Developing Players

The book contains music arranged for duets, trios and quartets. Playing in small groups gives students opportunities to practise listening, following their part and performing together.

Flexible Instrumentation

Accent on Ensembles is published in separate editions for different band instruments. These editions can be used together to create a variety of instrumental combinations, allowing mallet percussion players to participate in mixed-instrument ensembles.

Correlated with Accent on Achievement

Book 1 corresponds with Accent on Achievement, Book 1. It can be used to supplement band lessons with small-ensemble repertoire as students progress through their method books.

Note: This listing is for the Mallet Percussion Book 1 edition only. The conductor’s score and books for other instruments are sold separately.
