Boat Song. Grades: 1-3 This is a set of six trios for players of standards between grades I and III (as per The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, London or Trinity Guildhall, London). Whilst all are of modest difficulty, they all highlight different problems of ensemble playing, be it the handling of polyphony, playing off-beat rhythms, or blending tonally and dynamically. But first and foremost, they are fun to play. (Also available for requinto and 2 guitars) |

| Ainsty Suite The Ainsty was an ancient kingdom on the Plain of York, England. This suite of 6 short pieces has been written for the beginner ensemble in mind - typically for players with between 1 month and 1 year's experience. Since most beginners are uneasy at the sight of all those ledger lines on bass notes, I have endeavoured to make these parts simple so that they can be played almost straight away, having learned just 3 or 4 notes. Grades: 1 |
