About this collection
Concert Band & Orchestra Methods
Build your concert band and orchestra program with methods designed for beginning and intermediate musicians. This collection brings together trusted series like Accent on Achievement and Measures of Success, along with resources from accomplished educators including John O'Reilly, Robert Sheldon, and Peter Boonshaft. From Strictly Strings for developing string players to Sound Innovations for full ensemble work, these methods emphasize technique, musicality, and ensemble development across grade levels.
Who it's for
- Beginning and intermediate band directors starting new programs or rebuilding sections
- Private instructors teaching woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion to young musicians
- School music teachers developing concert band and orchestra curricula
What's inside
- Student method books for flute, clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, violin, cello, and viola
- Books paired with online audio and software for practice support
- Methods from Accent on Achievement, Measures of Success, Strictly Strings, and Sound Innovations series
- Beginning and intermediate levels; physical books and digital downloads available
Things to consider
Start with Book 1 of your chosen series to ensure your students have the foundational approach that later books build on. Many directors add the corresponding conductor score or piano accompaniment book to guide rehearsals and provide context for individual practice. If your ensemble spans multiple instruments, selecting methods from the same series keeps pedagogical language and musical concepts consistent across your sections.
