Welcome to Birston Music Publications, an online source for the compositions and arrangements of Harold Birston.
Our website is being updated, and in early 2024 the Excursions and Expeditions books will once again be available to aspiring violinists, violists, and cellists of all ages. I strive to make every piece as enriching, captivating, and enjoyable as possible, with the aim of leading the student along the path to an ever deepening understanding and love of music.
Please check back often, as I will soon be adding new music to the catalogue, including Excursions for Piano, Explorations for Violin, Escapades for Violin, Explorations for Cello, Escapades for Cello, music for viola, arrangements of great classical music for student string orchestra, as well as jazz string quartets and chamber settings of art songs for advanced students and professionals.
New Recording String Garden now available on streaming services and CD! I am pleased to announce the release of a recording of original “chamber jazz” compositions featuring the cello. For more details, please visit the String Garden page.
