Sound Sight Reading for Concert Band

Teachers keep coming back to the Flute 2, Mallet Percussion, and B-flat Clarinet 1 volumes by Brian Beck. These titles anchor the collection and work as a coordinated system across your band, so your ensemble develops sight-reading together at the same pace rather than in isolation.

Brian Beck is a freelance composer and clinician whose works have been featured in TMEA Honor Band concerts, Midwest performances, and UIL state marching contests. His compositions have earned "Reviewer's Choice" recognition from The Instrumentalist and "Best New Concert Band Music" from Tom Lee Music. He brings both arranging experience and direct knowledge of what works in rehearsal.

Robert Sheldon is one of the most performed composers of wind band music today and the lead author of Sound Innovations for Concert Band. His work appears on international concert and contest programs, and his compositions are recognized by awards from the American School Band Director's Association and ASCAP. His voice in this collection reflects the same expression that has made his other educational materials widely adopted.

Dr. Scott Watson spent 35 years as an instrumental music teacher in the Parkland School District, including serving as high school Director of Bands and coordinator of the elementary band and strings program across the district. An award-winning composer with more than 120 published works, he brings classroom experience directly into his pedagogical approach.
