Tasteful Tunes, Volume 1: Trios by Karen Houghton, Janet B. Nye, and Molly Wood is an approachable ensemble collection for three horn players. Designed especially with younger and less experienced musicians in mind, it also offers enjoyable group playing for hornists of other ages and abilities. The repertoire draws on music from around the world, seasonal songs, and orchestral material, giving a trio varied music to explore together.
The three-player format is a useful setting for developing ensemble habits: listening to the other parts, balancing a shared sound, agreeing on articulation, and coordinating entrances and endings. Teachers can bring those goals into a studio class or small-group lesson without making the session solely a technical exercise. For students, familiar and varied material can make the move from practicing alone to playing with others more inviting. Published by Houghton Horns, this is the first volume in the Tasteful Tunes collection.
