About This Collection

Description

FJH method books form the backbone of instrumental and piano instruction in schools and studios across the country. The Measures of Success series dominates this collection, with dedicated method books for clarinet, trumpet, flute, trombone, saxophone, percussion, and violin that teachers rely on for sequential, engaging instruction. You'll also find New Directions for Strings and piano methods that span early elementary through late intermediate levels, all aligned with Federation Festivals 2024-2028.

Highlights

Teachers keep coming back to the Measures of Success series across all wind instruments. Deborah A. Sheldon's method books for clarinet, trumpet, flute, trombone, and alto saxophone are widely adopted, as are Gail V. Barnes's Measures of Success for String Orchestra Violin Book 1 and Joanne Erwin's New Directions for Strings Violin Book 1.
