<p>This book is the first comprehensive attempt to identify and analyze the most significant works for band ever published at the Grade 1 level.</p><p>Building on the success of the best-selling <em>Teaching Music through Performance in Band</em> 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.</p><p>Each analysis includes information about the composer, the composition, historical background, technical requirements, stylistic considerations, form and structure, and suggested recordings and references. A high-quality recording of these works is available separately from the publisher.</p><p>In addition, six world leaders in beginning band education-Thomas Dvorak, Larry Blocher, Scott Emmons, Bruce Pearson, Darhyl S. Ramsey, and Marguerite Wilder-come together to provide compelling insights on the critical issues facing early band conductors today, including teaching philosophies, establishing goals and objectives, recruitment, the rehearsal, technology, and selecting good music.</p><p>Compiled and edited by Richard Miles and Thomas Dvorak, <em>Teaching Music through Performance in Beginning Band</em> is the first significant resource of its kind and an invaluable contribution to the field.</p>
