About this collection
Garland E Markham Sheet Music
Band Expressions is a comprehensive concert band method series designed to build foundational musicianship across all standard band instruments. Created by Garland E. Markham alongside Robert W. Smith, Susan L. Smith, and other experienced educators, this collection provides structured progression from Level 1 through Level 2. Each book pairs printed student materials with accompanying audio CDs, making it practical for both classroom instruction and independent practice. The series covers woodwinds, brass, and percussion parts, with Texas Edition variants available for educators working within that state's curriculum frameworks.

Things to consider
Start with Book One for new students; each instrument has its own part book, so you'll need to order the specific instruments in your ensemble. The CD accompaniments work well for rehearsal preparation and solo practice. If you're in Texas, the Texas Edition of Book One aligns with state standards, though the standard editions work equally well for other regions.
