Things to consider

Start with Book 1 to match first-year students learning the method basics. The ensemble arrangements in these books work best when students have already learned fundamental fingerings and can focus on simple rhythms and melodies. If you're building a complete program, you'll want the method books themselves alongside these solos and ensembles to ensure students have both the technical exercises and the performance material they need.
