Things to consider
If your student responds better to contemporary music than classical repertoire, this series can serve as a powerful motivator without sacrificing fundamentals. The included CD lets students practice with professional accompaniments, which develops their sense of ensemble playing. Each instrument part stands alone, so you can assign solos individually or program them as a group performance at a concert.
