Problem!

  •  Beginning tuba and clarinet players will perform in a band together, but do they read the same notation? NO! It is frustrating for instrumentalists to learn 'piano' theory - and notes that they will never see in their music.

  • What if they could learn to read music in the same order and manner  in which they learn to perform? Learning would be faster, easier, with greater confidence and less complaint. Theory would make sense as students could apply it to both paper and performance.

Solution!

Beginning Band Basics - the new comprehensive theory and activity workbook series that teaches music reading to young players from the same starting point as performance - harmoniously hand in hand!

The first note they learn to play is the first note they learn to write!

  • Created by a teacher for her own students and tested in classrooms for success! All the photos presented on the website are of Ms. terHart's music students at Rothesay Netherwood School, Rothesay, New Brunswick.

  • Explanatory material is presented in Colour throughout the books - helping students focus and understand theory concepts more thoroughly!

  • Instructions in exercises are highlighted:  Draw  Write  Note  Rest  etc.

  • Bold text and underlined text further help the student separate instructions from explanations and keep them focused on the exercise.

  • Instructions are presented in point form, helping students to complete each question completely without getting lost in the directions.

  • Language is easy to understand, personal, and written with the student in mind.  Explanations and instructions are thorough, yet not difficult to comprehend.

  • Workbooks are illustrated throughout with original illustrations and graphics, providing a sense of enthusiasm and fun to the theory learning experience.
