" As the light whose reflection in the water is sometimes broken by the waves, I used ascending and descending movement in the melody. The pervasive use of syncopation also enabled me to exacerbate the impact felt by the ebb and flow.  " - Alain LOPEZ

A Piece for exams and auditions for students playing trombone for 5 years onwards.

" I had fun to mix three musical styles remotely related. My idea was to take a classical musical phrase then to reharmonize it to give it jazz or pop colors. Here is for the 'short story'.  " - Alain LOPEZ

" Latin music divided into three parts of 32 mes. each: the first is for students with 1-2 years of experience (only long values and small chromatisms are used), the second is for those who have 2 or 3 (add dotted quarter / eighth notes and intervals of fourths), the third is for those at the end of the first cycle (flow from eighth in addition). This piece can "follow" the students for three years and / or allow 3 students with different levels to play together. " - Alain LOPEZ

" This bluesy ballad proposes an easy approach of doted quaver followed by semiquaver and helps going one step further since this solemn rhythm is always followed by 2 quavers! " - Alain LOPEZ

" This composition was created for young musicians (mostly teenagers), and will be played as a pop song. Indeed, its texture (silky and polished) is related to the use of triplets and harmonic series built on the principle of 'verse / chorus'. Its tempo (close to the human body beat) and duration (3 minutes) will make it the hit of the summer! " - Alain LOPEZ

A perfect Piece for exams or auditions - for students playing Trombone for 4 years onwards

" What else can be better than a Samba to tackle the Syncopation with fun! In the second part, the player will have to articulate the syncopation to become a credible Samba player! one could also add the sounds of a "reco-reco" or a "pandeiro" (small Brasilian drums) to make this Samba even more captivating! " - Alain LOPEZ

" The purpose of this composition is to familiarize yourself with the unusual 5/4 metric, often associated to the famous jazz standard by Paul Desmond, Take Five.

" The title of this Piece is a pun on Cubans rhythms. The opposition between the tone and used homonymous tone, as well as the rhythmic formula chosen on theme "B" are a typical feature of South America music. Concerning the melody, it is a stylistics composition on quarter note triplets! " - Alain LOPEZ
