Things to consider
Start with Book 1 for students new to their instrument; the online audio helps them hear correct sound and phrasing without always needing a teacher present. If you're teaching a full band, you'll need the individual part book for each instrument in your ensemble, so check your instrumentation before ordering. The included software and online access work best when students have consistent practice time between lessons.
