Essential Elements (Volumes 1 & 2) Teacher's Manual

Complete Method for Music Instruction in Schools & Wind Ensembles!

Learning an instrument in a classroom ensemble has long been a proven method in the USA and is increasingly popular in Germany. Essential Elements provides not only a basic, comprehensive education for all wind and percussion instruments in the wind ensemble and their ensemble interplay, but also guarantees plenty of fun in learning and making music together.

Alongside music instruction, delivered sensibly and in small steps, you'll find engaging excursions into music theory, history and culture. Each student book includes online access to the corresponding audio tracks recorded by professional musicians.

This book is ideal not only for class-based instrument learning. It's also perfect for pre- and beginner ensembles within wind bands. What students learn in private or group lessons is reviewed with Essential Elements, and a host of orchestral arrangements are available so ensemble playing can be practiced from an early stage.
