Music & Methods

If you’re a music teacher you may be interested in purchasing some of the supplementary materials that I have developed during my teaching career. I have spent over 20 years developing materials that work for elementary and middle school bands. Some are available immediately, some are still “works in progress”.

Here are some of the features of the printed and upcoming material:
• High-quality printed music prepared with Finale Software for superior legibility
• Plastic comb or plastic coil binding, so they lay flat on the music stand
• PDF downloads that allow the purchaser to print however many copies are needed
• Exercises and music that have been tested with real bands in real situations
