About our Series
ACADEMY BAND SERIES
The Academy Band Series is targeted toward first and second year players. These selections are written with limited ranges and simple rhythms. They also provide good material for middle school bands to develop their sight reading skills and give players at all levels in these bands the chance to succeed. Many of the selections in the Academy Band series come with Advanced and Basic parts, again to help develop or challenge multiple skill levels. Grade level 1 - 2+
CONCERT BAND SERIES
The Concert Band Series targets students in their third year, or more, of playing. There are typically multiple parts (1st and 2nd); clarinet 1 parts are written over the break and ranges and rhythms are more advanced. Low woodwind and brass players have more independent parts from each other with cued notes to help out if needed. These arrangements also work well for young high school bands looking for material that doesn't require as much prep time for them. Grade 2 - 3+
