Essential Elements 2000 - Book 1, Music And Accessories At EarFloss.com

This is an outstanding instruction book which teaches a beginning instrumentalist all of the basic skills necessary to play the instrument. The book features 180 short songs and etudes, which are used to learn new notes, rhythms and styles, as well as to reinforce the previously-learned material. There are also several band arrangement songs, in addition to a concert piece (with piano accompaniment included) and two like-instrument duets. As an added bonus, this book also features sixteen etudes from the famous Rubank method books, seventy-two one-measure rhythm patterns, and a one page guide to creating music.

Add all of this music to short lessons on music history and music theory, include a fingering chart, throw in a compact disc that provides accompaniments for lessons 1 - 58, and you have a book that is clearly the best in its class. We are recommending this book (and the optional 3 CD set which accompanies lessons 59 to the end of the book) for all beginning instrumentalists, regardless of age.
