She is working on the chromatic scale, f major, and C major right now and they are for a grade, which is why I have been focusing on them. I gave her my old book from middle school to help with that, but unfortunately, all the books I have focus on finger patterns, which, while important, is not all that she needs to learn. I also have her practice register slurs and long tones. Rose etudes are definitely too advanced and I haven't had a chance to look at the Lester series or Hite series. She's beyond basic like notes and fingerings for the most part but has a relatively small range, which I'm trying to get her to extend gradually. Are there any band methods you recommend that I obtain? I'm willing to buy music, as I'd like to have a larger variety both for her and for future students. Yesterday's lesson was very productive for the most part (it was our 3rd lesson) and now that I've been with her a few times I have a better idea of what she can do, yet I still need the physical resources to teach her, so if you any that have worked particularly well, I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to look into the ones you mentioned above when I get a chance but now I have to make an emergency run to the repair shop for my own instrument! Thank you so much for all the helpful advice!
