Accent on Achievement Series

Created for students in band from grades 5 through 8, these are workbook and CD-ROM combinations, designed to introduce and reinforce basic concepts and skills. Each band instrument has its own book/CD. After briefly discussing proper playing position and note formation, the book presents a series of musical exercises. The CD offers a link to an Internet site with a fingering chart, plus more than 50 midi files of various short instructional pieces like Jingle Bells, London Bridge, Skip to My Lou and Surprise Symphony. The two products could be used as home practice tools, but would be more effective if used in a classroom setting with teacher guidance.
