Only one new concept is introduced at a time.
The pacing encourages student mastery without
excessive repetition. You can move from line to
line quickly within each class. Students master
quarter notes, then move to eighth, half, dot-
ted-half, and whole notes.
New concepts are presented in familiar keys and
rhythms. These skills are integrated in shaded
sections called Skill Builders to combine rhy-
thms, pitches and bowings into comprehensive
exercises to develop solid technique.
It's all right in each student book, correlated with
the music and concepts they are currently learn-
ing. This is by far the most efficient way to meet
the National Standards, integrate other subjects
into the music curriculum, and still teach the es-
sentials of music performance.
