Title: Studies in Syncopation
Description: This piece was designed to teach various forms of syncopation in an ensemble setting. While much of what is presented is pretty straightforward and somewhat “common” in terms of syncopated figures, there is still an element of “tongue-in-cheek” to this work.  

This musical composition is part of a multi-title series of works for unaccompanied instrumental trio. It is available for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone and tuba. It is written so that parts can be mixed if need be. There is a separate stand-alone version for french horn that cannot be combined with the other instruments.
