An important addition to the ground-breaking Essentials of Musicianship Series
from Curnow Music Press! You have probably found that if you rely
entirely on your method book and performance pieces for teaching and
reinforcement, many aspects of musicianship do not receive the focus
that they should have. Method books have notoriously little
reinforcement material because they try to cover so much with so little
book space. The Essentials Series allows you to select the areas
that your band needs work on and provides a great deal of reinforcement
for those critical skills.
If you are not yet familar with this series, you have just discovered a tremendous teaching resource! Look at a score for Sight-Reading Builders and notice the comprehensive instructions for most effective use. Teach your band to read style as well as notes and rhythms! A wonderful resource!

short and work perfectly as a warm-up at the beginning of rehearsal, or
before any piece when you need to focus your band's attention to this
important aspect of musicianship.
