About This Collection

Description

MakeMusic Cloud Methods contains 399 core method books and ensemble materials for band, strings, and choir, with formats ranging from printed books to digital downloads. Teachers rely on foundational series like Alfred's Basic Piano Library by Willard A. Palmer, Accent on Achievement by John O'Reilly, and the Suzuki Cello School for structured instrument instruction. The collection spans Beginning through intermediate levels, with strong coverage of concert band (219 titles) and string orchestra (89 titles), making it the backbone of many studio and school music programs.

Highlights

Alfred's Basic Piano Library: Lesson Book 1A and the Sound Innovations series for both concert band and strings are the workhorses teachers return to year after year. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone remains the standard percussion text, while Accent on Achievement provides comprehensive band method instruction with online audio and software support across all instruments.

Recently added

The Harry Potter Foundations series by John Williams arrived in 2024 and 2025, offering String Orchestra and Concert Band versions with full scores and curriculum guides for teachers building thematic units around familiar music.

Composer & Author Spotlight

Peter Boonshaft has authored 138 titles in this collection and is recognized as one of the most influential voices in music education today. His Sound Innovations for String Orchestra, Book 2 has become a standard text in many programs, and his philosophy emphasizes accessible yet musically rigorous instruction.

Robert Sheldon is among the most performed wind band composers in the country and brings that same compositional sophistication to his pedagogical work. His Measures of Success series and leadership on Sound Innovations for Concert Band reflect his commitment to balancing musical expression with practical classroom instruction.

Bob Phillips pioneered modern string pedagogy and remains one of today's most prolific educational composers, with over 25 book series in print. His Sound Innovations series spans all six levels and is used by thousands of string students annually, built on his deep expertise in large group teaching and stylistic variety.

Dave Black combines performance expertise with prolific composing and arranging across percussion and ensemble music. His Alfred's Drum Method, Book 1 is a perennial favorite, and his extensive catalog reflects real-world experience both as a performer and educator.
