This book is a great resource for band.  Basics are thoroughly covered and progress in a logical order.  The coolest part of this method is the computer software that goes along with the books.  Students can play an exercise in their books into a computer microphone and it will analyze the performance.  Students can find notes that were out of tune, wrong rhythms, and wrong notes.
