Grand Prize Winner of the 2003 Annual Innovation Awards -

chosen "most innovative product"

excerpt from the National Association of Music Educator's Journal review    (MENC)                             

".....In each book, students learn only the clef and beginning notes for their instrument making their introduction to music theory simpler than in traditional theory books......"

excerpt from the Canadian Music Educator's Association review (CMEA)

 

"......I heartily recommend this series to any Band Director with beginning students. Included is a history of the instrument, Italian and English musical terms, a brief account of the other instruments in the Band, and a bit of historical information on composers. Directions to the website are included where students may research their instrument or seek help to the historical questions included in the Workbook. It is an attractive and comprehensive series and as a bonus each book contains an original solo written by Ms terHart. Way to go and thank-you!"
