About this collection
Sound Innovations
Sound Innovations is a comprehensive method series for beginning and intermediate band and orchestra students. Created by leading educators including Robert Sheldon and Bob Phillips, these books combine structured skill-building with engaging arrangements across multiple genres. The series covers concert band, string orchestra, and flex instrumentation options, making it adaptable to diverse ensemble needs.
Who it's for
- Band directors launching new concert band programs or supplementing existing curricula
- String orchestra directors and teachers building foundational ensemble skills
- First and second year students on woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion
What's inside
- Concert Band and String Orchestra method books by Robert Sheldon and Bob Phillips, Grades 1 through Intermediate
- Student books with instrument-specific parts, most with online audio and playback tracks
- Specialized series including Sound Sight-Reading, Sound Development, and Sound Artistry for focused skill work
- Arrangements spanning patriotic, folk, holiday, and light concert styles
Things to consider
Start with Book 1 (Grade 1 or 1.5) if your group is new to reading or ensemble playing; move to Book 2 (Grade 2 to 2.5) once students can hold parts independently and respond to basic conducting. The Sound Development and Sound Artistry series work well as supplements to the main method books for extra drill on technique or expressive playing. Order conductor scores alongside student books to guide your rehearsals, and take advantage of the online audio to let students hear parts before rehearsal.
