For you who are a music teacher or ensemble leader, it is a great advantage to be able to arrange and write the music you will play in the ensemble or in the orchestra yourself. You can then tailor an arrangement to suit your musicians. The arrangement thus becomes a tool that you can use to work with the children's musical development. In addition, you can quickly arrange a current, popular song _x001A_on demand_x001A_. It definitely gives a certain freedom to not have to wait for someone else to do it. Many music teachers and ensemble leaders think that it is rewarding to work with their own material, but that it is difficult and takes a long time. In The Art of Writing Easily for Young Instrumentalists, various working methods are described which will hopefully make the arrangement work easier. If you just get started, it can eventually become a natural part of everyday work. Here you can learn different arrangement techniques that work well for playing by ear. You will also learn to work quickly using the so-called building-bit method, which works both when writing for a small ensemble and for a large orchestra. In the last chapter of the book, you learn to write etudes that can be used in interaction between student and teacher. The book contains a series of inspiring musical examples, with descriptions and comments that explain how different types of parts are structured, how to work with form, etc. Each chapter contains a sequence of exercises and then ends with a larger task. In the book's appendix there is valuable and practically useful information about various instruments, i.a. range of different instruments for children of different ages and simplified notation for chordal instruments, bass and percussion.
