Subj: Band Method Books
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 1998 17:49:17 -0500

I am writing a paper for graduate school on the development of beginning band
method books. The paper is about how method books have changed, and stayed
the same from Rubank to Accent on Achievement. I'm also including Breeze
Easy, First Division, the Weber-Lowry Clarinet Student, Best in Class, and
Essential Elements. I'm looking for suggestions from people who have used
different method books, what you liked about them, and what you don't like.
Also, if anyone knows of any method book trivia, such as, when the first book
was published that could with different instruments in the same class, or
anything else that might be interesting to include in the paper, I'd
appreciate the input.
