Re: Best beginner method books

I've been pretty happy with the newer generation of band methods, since Standard of Excellence came out in the 1990's. Each has its pros and cons, and I generally prefer the sequencing of Standard of Excellence. (with the caveat that some skipping around may be required to reinforce certain things) I also find that the Master Theory Workbook is a good companion to any beginning instrumental book. I also like its sequencing, and the fact that it teaches counting outside the context of the instrumental book. (i.e. it helps young overthinkers force themselves to move thru their songs in real-time when they want to stop and stare at the pitches) Ditto for the online demos & accompaniments--if used wisely.
