Variety and Quality - All In One!
Watchdog Music Publishers is your place for quality music for band, duets, trios, quartets and larger ensembles in many woodwind, brass, and percussion combinations, from easy to advanced. Our arrangements are designed to meet the levels from beginner to advanced/professional.
Watchdog was started because of the need for variety and quality in ensemble music. We offer a series of Mix and Match duets, trios, and quartets for 7th thru 12th grade which allow for example, a flute to play a duet with a tuba. We also have the standard ensembles for all instruments with a big emphasis on saxophone.
Our Origin Story
Watchdog Music was established in 2006, when Barbara Littell Bruske and Richard E. Jensen first collaborated on The Complete Band Method Book l. Our name, Watchdog Music was a natural as we had been using Barb's Lhasa Apso "Ludwig" as our watchdog for checking positions, etc., in the method book. He was such a devoted mascot that we decided his would be a catchy name for our publishing company too.
