The smallest member of the woodwind section is brought to center stage in Tracy Harris' comprehensive volume. An irreplaceable resource for piccolo players, private instructors and band directors, with original music by Todd Harris, this book discusses all topics pertinent to the piccolo: construction, approach, breathing, embouchure, intonation and much, much more. There is even a section dedicated to the most famous piccolo part ever written: the trio from The Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa. Fingering charts, trill charts, ensemble music and warm-ups all come together in this players' companion that will help any flutist tame the tiny pipe with the mighty voice.
