This book is the first comprehensive attempt to identify and analyze the most significant works for band ever published at the Grade 1 level.

Building on the success of the best-selling Teaching Music through Performance in Band series, this book includes analyses of fifty-three Grade 1 works, breaking each piece down into Entry Level, Intermediate Level, and Advanced Level repertoire categories.

This component in the Teaching Music through Performance series takes up right where the first volume left off: Nationally known leaders in music education offer insights and suggestions for improving the musicianship of your elementary or middle school band, and the series’ signature Teacher Resource Guides offer invaluable insights to 55 of the best newer works for beginning band in print.

Written, researched, and compiled by scholars with a wealth of teaching and conducting experience, Teaching Music through Performance in Choir, Volume 1, is an indispensable resource that enables conductors and educators to move beyond the printed page toward full musical awareness.

Teaching Music through Performance in Choir, Volume 2 aids conductors and educators on the quest toward full musical awareness. This book is an ideal tool for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the preeminent music composed for choir and a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the most expert voices in the choral profession.
