About This Collection
Description
MakeMusic Cloud gives you access to over 8,200 titles across band, orchestra, choir, and method books. You'll find the foundational methods teachers rely on year after year: Willard A. Palmer's Alfred's Basic Piano Library, George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control for snare drum, and the Suzuki Cello School series. Beyond essentials, the collection spans concert band and string orchestra repertoire at every level, from grade 1 through advanced, with strong representation of contest and festival material approved by UIL, NYSSMA, and other adjudicating bodies.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Alfred's Basic Piano Library, Lesson Book 1A by Willard A. Palmer and Lesson Book 2, which together account for thousands of adoptions. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone remains the standard snare drum method, while Accent on Achievement by John O'Reilly has become the go-to beginning band series for clarinet, trumpet, and flute. For strings, the Suzuki Cello School continues to anchor private and group instruction.
Recently added
Recent additions include The Gift of Giving, a string orchestra conductor score and parts by Brian Balmages, and Christmas Magic, available in both SAB and SATB choral octavo arrangements by Laufey.
