The fourth etude on each page is what I used to call S.O.P. lines, or “Sightreading of Pain!”  These are very difficult lines that are designed to push your students and to provide challenges for your top players.

This is not intended to be a “stand alone” method, but rather the bulk of what needs to be covered in a beginner band class for students to function independently on instrument specific repertoire and in a performing band situation. The band method book is then used as a supplement to this book, which is more detailed and offers a systematic approach to teaching embouchure, instrument range, alternate fingerings and the correct use of those fingerings, rhythmic reading, and scales. This method of teaching is more chromatic than diatonic based and allows for more in depth study of the tendencies of the individual instruments, embouchure for various ranges, and specific fingering uses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAnyone who teaches beginning band will most likely have a system in place and this book is intended to fit into that system, not to take the place of it. This book explains in detail how to use this information; however, the time-frame will vary from program to program depending on how often the beginner classes are seen and on the pace of each class. A good rule of thumb is to move on when most of the class is understanding and can perform a concept. Everything in this book is sequential but is also cumulative so the students will be using all the information constantly throughout the process. It is recommended that you plan a variety of ways to test knowledge including playing demonstrations, written tests, and aural or verbal explanations from the students. As with any method, this is not a magic fix, but is practical information that does make the difference at the end of the beginning year. This information will also be valuable to you as a director when diagnosing problems in your older students.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis book is set up by instrument, so you will have everything at your fingertips if you are teaching in a homogeneous setting.
