An excellent band method book
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent band method book. The introduction of new pitches and new rhythms is very well thought out and the progression through the book is very good. The page layout is very good for younger students, providing clear explanations but not overwhelming as some older band methods do.

Great Book for Beginners
Format: Paperback
This was a great beginner book for my son. I appreciate that the book gradually progresses from learning single notes to mastering longer songs. There is a key in the back that helps with understanding the symbols and their meanings in terms of notes and tones. We have one like this for a different instrument that my other son has been using for about 2 years now. The songs are straightforward and easy to read. It's a great book that helps teach kids how to read music. ... show more

Excellent Beginner and Warmup Book
Format: Paperback
I bought this to relearn the trumpet, after recently relearning the euphonium. I haven't played in over 10 years. It is amazing how it all comes back like riding a bicycle. I recommend this book if you are new to trumpet playing or if you want your own copy of a year 1 trumpet book that the school provides. It is also decent to use as a warm up or brainstorming tool. ... show more

Perfect beginner book!
Format: Paperback
This is our third child starting an instrument, and Standard of Excellence Books have been perfect for each of our beginner students. Now on our third new instrument, we choose Standard of Excellence as our go-to book. The songs increase in difficulty incrementally, we love having the scales and fingering charts in the back of the book. You can be sure your student will get a good foundation with these books! ... show more
