Greetings Band Director,
It is with great pleasure that I
introduce Band Brilliance Complete Band
Method! Each tune and exercise was field-tested by beginning and 2nd
year band students over a 20 year period.
All content was carefully placed in a logical order with subsequent
review.
Because starting tones (below)
are crucial for motivation and embouchure development, clarinets and saxophones
do a simple three note voice exchange (between concert B flat, C and D) with
the other sections in the first few pages. The method continues sensibly with a
lesson each on 3 note, 4 note, then 5 note tunes. Careful consideration was placed on range as
well as constant review for mastery learning.
You can request a complete version of the clarinet book by
E-mailing your school address to
info "at" BandBrilliance.com. Contact us for discounts on large school
orders.
Sincerely,
Michael Nadeau
Band Director since 1988
