Alfred Music has announced the new flexible instrumentation series—Alfred Flex and Belwin Flex. Each series contains a variety of styles and grade levels (Grades ½ through 3+) to meet the needs of ensembles with incomplete or unique instrumentation.
The pieces and arrangements in this new series have complete flexibility of instrumentation which will allow directors to use them for: full band, string orchestra, a mix of band and string instruments, a mix of woodwind and percussion, a mix of brass and percussion, percussion ensembles, mixed chamber ensembles, and most like-instrument ensembles.
Alfred Flex and Belwin Flex both include a teacher map with each piece that will help to not only guide the teacher to instrument choices but more importantly, provide a way to document who is assigned to which part. Flexible Options, Suggested Instrumentation, and Teacher Part Assignment spaces are all included, in a clean, clear, and uncluttered layout.
