Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have played brass instruments for close to 40 years; Professionally as well. I am still a performing musician. I currently teach elementary, junior high and high school level children. I will say that I have 'tried', with much less success, to use other products. However, while there may be other methods / mediums that I choose to ADD to planned courses (which must be specific / unique to a student's abilities), I have never strayed away from using the HL products -- I've found them totally appropriate for all skill levels.
The Hal Leonard products cannot be beat. Many (most) public school systems across the United States and Canada have standardized on the HL product line. The HL Essentials series is also very affordable and readily available. While not absolutely necessary, the play-along CD's / DVD's are a bonus.
For my courses I use the following:
-- Arban's (the trumpeter's Bible).
-- Practical Studies for Coronet or Trumpet, books one and two by Robert W. Getchell (Belwin).
-- The Hal Leonard Essential Elements 2000 series, books one, two and three.
-- The Hal Leonard Essential Elements for Jazz Ensemble (a comprehensive method for jazz style and improvisation).
This product is very reasonably priced and produced by a well-known company that continuously upgrades their products. IMHO these are the ONLY tools necessary to teach and learn at ANY level. I even return to them myself from time to time.
