Accent on Achievement, Book 3

About This Collection

Description

Accent on Achievement, Book 3 is the intermediate level of one of the most widely adopted band method series in American schools. John O'Reilly and Mark Williams designed these books to build solid musicianship across the full concert band instrumentation, moving students beyond fundamentals into more expressive and technically demanding repertoire. The B-flat Trumpet Book and Flute Book are the most popular starting points, but the series covers every standard band voice from clarinet and saxophone to trombone and percussion.

Highlights

Teachers keep coming back to the Accent on Achievement, Book 3 books for trumpet and flute, which consistently outpace other titles in adoption. The B-flat Clarinet Book and E-flat Alto Saxophone Book are equally strong choices for developing intermediate players. The series works across the full ensemble, with dedicated books for trombone, baritone, and combined percussion so every student has age-appropriate material aligned to the same scope and sequence.
