Contemporary Band Course Sheet Music

Who it's for

• Band directors starting or building concert band programs
• Private instructors teaching woodwind and brass students
• First and second year band students needing core method instruction

What's inside

• 124 books in the Contemporary Band Course series by James D. Ployhar
• Core method titles (Band Today) and technique-focused supplements (Technic Today)
• Individual part books covering flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, horn, oboe, baritone, and percussion

Things to consider

Start with Band Today, Part 1 for foundational instruction, then layer in Technic Today books to isolate and reinforce specific technical skills within your ensemble. Because these are printed method books shipped physically, you'll want to order full sets by part (one book per player) rather than conductor scores. The series works best when all students in a section use the same level and title, so verify your starting point before ordering across multiple instruments.
