Things to consider
Start by identifying your ensemble's current grade level and instrument setup. Sound Orchestra materials work well for ensemble development across beginning and intermediate grades, while Sound Performance titles suit intermediate students ready for solo or small-group work. If you're building a complete program, pair method books with one or two arrangement titles that match your grade level and performance goals for the season.
