All of the pieces in the Universal Edition Debut series are written for young instrumentalists in their earliest stages of learning, and can be performed as solos or in unison with other players. Some of the pieces have an optional second part and can also serve as ensemble material. For the student, this collection contains fun inspiration cartoons, a CD providing demo performances for listening and play-along tracks, and as a bonus, the cartoons can be downloaded and printed for free and colored in.

For the teacher, selected piano accompaniments can be downloaded and printed for free, but a complete volume of accompaniments can also be purchased separately. While each book contains pieces written specifically for the instrument, a special section includes four “key-friendly” pieces for beginners on most instruments, ideal for mixed instrumental groups at an early level.
