ABRSM E-flat Horn books for grades, accompaniments and ensemble playing

Start by checking your current level and the book named by your teacher or in Syllabus Finder. On this page, most customers start with Shining Brass, Book 1 or Shining Brass, Book 2, then add accompaniment or ensemble books if needed.

If you want a quick route, confirm the level first and then shop the E-flat Horn collection.

Book 1 is the better starting point for earlier stages. Book 2 is usually the next step when you are ready for more advanced material.

If you are unsure, check the exact book requirement in Syllabus Finder or ask your teacher before you order.

If you want to rehearse or perform the accompanied pieces properly, it is usually worth buying the matching piano accompaniment book as well. The current collection includes titles such as Shining Brass, Book 2 (Piano Accompaniments in E flat) and Brass Mix, Book 2, Piano Accompaniment E flat.

If you are buying for solo practice only, you may decide to start with the main instrument book first.

Shining Brass is usually the main starting point for graded E-flat Horn study on this page. Brass Mix is useful when you want extra repertoire and accompaniment material to widen lessons, practice and informal performance.

Many customers buy the main course book first and then add Brass Mix as extra music.

Yes, especially if you want short ensemble-led material for early progression. The E-flat Horn collection includes several Music Medals books that work well for learners building confidence in group playing and steady reading.

They are usually best used as supporting material alongside your main graded book.

For many customers, the best starting point is Shining Brass, Book 1, with a matching accompaniment book added later if needed. If you are working in a group or beginner ensemble setting, one of the Music Medals books can also be a good first extra purchase.

Yes. You can usually build a practical starter set by combining a main E-flat Horn book, the matching piano accompaniment if you need it, and one supporting title such as Brass Mix or a Music Medals book.

That gives many learners enough material for lessons, home practice and extra ensemble work.
