Accent on Achievement, Book 3
Book 3 has a unique format. Organized by key
signature, Accent on Achievement, Book 3 is the ideal way to introduce
new keys to your band. Students then gain mastery of their instruments through
the performance of scales, exercises and melodies in all 12 major and 12 minor
keys. Accent on Achievement, Book 3 is also written for ease of use and
efficient utilization of rehearsal time, and is designed to produce the maximum
technical development in the least amount of time. As a great resource for the
busy band director, Book 3 may be used by upper level as well as progressing
bands, serving as the "all-in-one" sourcebook for developing technically
superior players.
