Section 3: the title indicates that the pieces in this book are written for three players from one instrumental section in an ensemble. They can be used in several ways. It could be an opportunity to direct the spotlight onto one section of the band (or orchestra) for example. There are also occasions when, rather than the entire ensemble, just a small group of players is needed. Another possibility is to play these pieces with fellow students, in class, at home, or in examinations.

With the music in Section 3 you will make an impression everywhere. The pieces are all in modern styles and accompanied by lively dance rhythms. You’ll find musical styles known in North America and Europe, like Dance, Trance, R&B, Trip Hop, but also music from warmer regions, such as Conga, Salsa and Samba — music for which we use the general term ‘Latin’.

The whole thing is even groovier when a drummer joins in — an extra percussion part is provided for this purpose. But if you lack a real drummer, you don’t have to do without the rhythm part as it is recorded on the CD. You can also listen to the demo version on the CD to get an impression of how the complete trios sound.

An important final point: the books from the Section 3 series cannot be combined with each other; you can only play from one book at a time. The third trumpet can be replaced by a trombone player who plays from the trumpet part (treble clef) or from the additional trombone part (bass clef).
Now is the time to bring three musicians together and start playing — Section 3 is fun to the power of three!
