About This Collection

Description

Teachers rely on these materials across all band and orchestra instruments, from clarinet and trumpet through violin and percussion. The catalog emphasizes accessible, musically engaging instruction from the earliest levels, with 40 titles in the Measures of Success series alone and substantial support for piano instruction through Succeeding at the Piano.

Highlights

Teachers keep coming back to Measures of Success Clarinet Book 1, Measures of Success Trumpet Book 1, and Measures of Success Flute Book 1, all by Deborah A. Sheldon. For string programs, Measures of Success for String Orchestra Violin Book 1 by Gail V. Barnes and New Directions for Strings Violin Book 1 by Joanne Erwin are standards. Piano teachers gravitate toward the Succeeding at the Piano series, which offers both method and technique instruction across multiple grade levels.
