This major
band method by James O.
Froseth has it all:
Artist performers set
musical standards in
sound with more than 80
great performances on CD
for every instrument, and
one CD lasts for the
entire book! Performers
include: Michael Henoch
(Chicago Symphony
Orchestra), Randall
Hawes, Jeffrey Zook,
Sharon Sparrow, Kevin
Good (Detroit Symphony
Orchestra), Albert Blaser
(Cleveland State
University), Brian Bowman
(Duquesne University),
Timothy McAllister (Crane
School of Music, SUNY at
Potsdam), Steve Houghton
(LA percussion recording
artist and clinician),
Donald Sinta, Richard
Beene, Bryan Kennedy,
Debra Chodacki, Fritz
Kaenzig (University of
Michigan), Kristin Beene
(Toledo Symphony
Orchestra), and Jean
Moorehead Libs (Plymouth
Symphony Orchestra).
Professional studio
backgrounds capture the
rich diversity of
American music culture
with a repertoire of
American, Latin American,
African, European, and
Far Eastern styles. Music
of other times includes
12th-century conductus,
15th-century Dance of the
Bouffons, 16th-century
French branle, 18th- and
19th-century folk songs
and dances, 1940s and
'50s jazz, blues, and
rock-and-roll. The
repertoire and recorded
contexts are motivating,
informative, and entirely
musical. Every song
includes text, providing
information about
phrasing, rhythm, style,
affect, emotion, history,
and culture. A unique
Rhythmic Pattern
Dictionary allows
students to look it up
and listen up. An
individualized format
allows students to
progress at different
rates with a theme and
variation format. Ear
training and
improvisation are
integral parts of the
lesson format. A 550+
page Teacher's Resource
edition and musical score
provides options galore,
including a double CD
with listen and play
exercises for group
instruction,
supplementary exercises
for technical
development, and resource
material for
improvisation and
composition. All the
resources needed for
teaching to the National
Standards for Music are
provided (coordinates
with rhythm flashcards).
Book 2 features
innovative, but optional
use of world percussion
instruments, as developed
by percussion educator
Steve Houghton. Click
