Method to the Band Madness!

Help me give my students the opportunity to extend their learning with the method book.

My Project

Please help my hard working band by providing a class set of their method books. The method book is where they learn to play their instruments, it teaches them the beats and the notes. We use this book every day in class and we use to challenge each other by advancing their skills!

I make sure music is available for my students to use everyday in class.

Whether they are using a school instrument and school method book, or they left their book at home, I make sure they have music to play! I do not want anyone to be left out, so having method books to borrow is a must! My students work so hard on learning their instruments and when it's concert time they are so proud of their progress. These method books are essential to their learning.
