About this collection

FJH Method Books

FJH Method Books brings together beginner and elementary-level method books and supplements for band, orchestra, and piano. Created by trusted educators including Deborah A. Sheldon, Robert Sheldon, and Brian Balmages, these methods combine foundational technique with engaging musical content. You'll find everything from full method books to supplements and musicianship resources designed for early learners through late intermediate players.

Who it's for

  • Beginning band and orchestra directors building first-year curricula
  • Private instructors teaching young musicians on single instruments
  • Parents and students starting flute, strings, saxophone, or piano

What's inside

  • Method books for band instruments, strings, and piano at grades 1 through late intermediate
  • Book, PDF, and digital download formats; many include online audio or CD support
  • Supplementary materials like warm-ups, chorales, musicianship books, and ensemble collections
  • Content spanning standard repertoire plus multicultural and thematic material

Things to consider

Start with Book 1 of your instrument's series and move sequentially; most work best when paired with a teacher or director who can guide pacing. If you're building an ensemble library, check which titles include conductor scores or accompaniment tracks, as not all formats have them. Many FJH methods work well together in a school setting, so if you already use one series, adding related titles keeps pedagogical approach consistent.
