The Westminster Brass Academy Series features quality arrangements designed for the young brass ensemble. They feature the same error-free, meticulous computer engraving found on all arrangements from Lyric Brass Publishing, but with easier, less strenuous writing designed to help the young player succeed. Instruments ranges are accessible and carefully kept to where younger players will sound their best. The arrangements typically have flexible scoring and copies of the all parts bound into the score. Permission is granted to the purchaser to make enough copies of the parts for any one ensemble to perform the work on a given concert or at a given festival. This ensures continuing usefulness by eliminating lost parts and allowing for legal doubling of parts (even by different instruments) whenever necessary.
