Description

Band Expressions™ offers a comprehensive curriculum designed for music educators across all levels, equipping them with engaging and practical resources to address everyday classroom challenges while enhancing the teaching of music. The lessons are crafted in alignment with the National Standards for Music Education, ensuring they are inherently designed to meet these standards rather than being adapted retroactively. This program emphasizes music literacy and is structured to fulfill both musical and literacy requirements within band classes.

Each student book is presented in an appealing full-color format, featuring clear notation and includes a 78-track CD that provides accompaniments for various songs and exercises throughout the lessons. Additionally, the books contain historical insights on prominent composers of band music, a comprehensive glossary of musical terminology, and guidance on advanced instrument care and maintenance. Future editions may be produced with black and whit
