Who it's for

• Band directors building curricula for grades 2-5 concert bands
• Private instructors teaching individual wind and percussion students
• Music teachers needing mixed-instrument resources for school programs

What's inside

• 152 titles across three series: core method books, Ensemble Development, and Sound Sight-Reading
• Individual part books for 8 instruments plus combined percussion books
• Book format with online audio included; 57 digital downloads also available
• Books 1 and 2 with Second Edition revisions for the main series

Things to consider

Start with Book 1 if your students are new to band; the Second Edition versions offer updated content. Book 2 works well for students progressing into their second year. Most titles include online audio, which reinforces pitch and rhythm when students practice at home. If you're teaching multiple instruments, purchasing the conductor or ensemble development books alongside individual parts creates a more cohesive learning experience.
