Band Expressions(tm) is a full-band curriculum that provides music
educators at all levels with easy-to-use, exciting tools to meet daily
classroom challenges and bring new vibrancy and depth to teaching music.
The lessons were written based on the National Standards for Music
Education -- not retrofitted to the Standards. The program is both music
literacy-based and literacy driven -- based on music literacy while
satisfying reading and writing mandates in band class. The curriculum
features sequenced introduction of percussion instruments to allow not
only traditional concert percussion, but also keyboard, accessory, and
world percussion.
Each student book features an attractive full-color interior with
easy-to-read notes and includes:
-A 78-track CD in each student book with accompaniments for various
songs and exercises throughout the lesson book
-Historical notes on some of the most notable composers of band music
-A thorough glossary of musical terms
Future reprints may be printed with black and white interiors.
