What is “Flex+”?
The very first of its kind, Flex+ puts ensemble flexibility in your hands like never before.
We love innovative ideas like “Flex Band”, but we don’t think you should have to buy a separate arrangement just to play a piece of music you and your students love. That’s where Flex+ is a game-changer.
How does it work?
Flex+ is simple but powerful. Every part remains the same but is provided in different transpositions to be played by other instruments.
For example, the “Trumpet in E-flat” part would be the original Trumpet Part as reflected on the score, and the E-flat transposition allows you to then distribute that part to your Alto Sax players. This naming system remains consistent across the entire product line.
What Parts/Transpositions are Included?
Pretty much every transposition you can think of. We’ve listed them all below:
For Concert Band:
-Flute in Bb, Eb, F, and Bass Clef
-Clarinet in C (Treble Clef & Bass Clef), Eb, and F
-Alto Sax in C (Treble Clef & Bass Clef), Bb, and F
-Tenor Sax in C (Treble Clef & Bass Clef), Eb, and F
-Trumpet in C (Treble Clef & Bass Clef), Eb, and F
-F Horn in C (Treble Clef & Bass Clef), Bb, and Eb
-Trombone/Low Brass in C (T.C.), Bb (T.C.), Eb, and F
-Tuba in Bb, in C (Bass Clef Higher octave), Eb, and F.
All parts are also provided in Concert Pitch Alto Clef.
For Orchestra:
-Violin 1 & 2 in Alto Clef & Bass Clef
-Viola in Treble Clef & Bass Clef
-Cello in Treble Clef & Alto Clef
Please Note: Flex+ is not currently provided for works in our Marching Band catalog. Please email us for more info on Marching Band Flex works.
What does the Score look like?
The score does not change. Rather, the supplemental parts are already represented on the score as their original part; their transposition is just different. We’re hoping to soon give you the ability to order custom scores fit to the instrumentation of your ensemble. Stay tuned!
How do I order Flex+ arrangements?
Flex+ supplemental parts come standard with every Concert Band & String Orchestra piece in our catalog. No additional purchase or request is necessary. It’s our commitment to serving you to the best of our ability.
Flex+ is:
Automatically included with every Concert Band & Orchestra purchase
Supplemental parts in every instrument transposition
It's like "FlexBand" but Stronger
Inspired by the needs of
real music educators
Daniel teaches at a private school in Indiana where he has a few string players in his band class. Typically, his violin players are only able to play the flute/oboe parts. Now every instrumental part comes with a transposition that can be played by the Violin. It’s one less hurdle he has to overcome before playing music with his students. Even his Violas can join in with our supplemental parts provided in Alto Clef.
Jordan teaches in a small school in Missouri. She regularly lacks balanced instrumentation to cover all the parts of standard published concert band music. One year, she had 5 trumpets and no Saxophones. With Flex+, she is able to hand the Alto Saxophone parts to her extra trumpet players and those parts are easily covered. No additional time is spent “transposing” parts on your own. These are real resources for real music classrooms.
