Sound Innovations for Concert Band is a revolutionary, flexible, and comprehensive band method that combines time-tested educational concepts, input from thousands of teachers, and advances in modern technology.
The Sound Innovations method book is thoughtfully designed for band directors, offering a logical instructional sequence, clear page layouts, and defined objectives that streamline lesson planning. Each exercise builds sequentially, allowing directors to efficiently reinforce key concepts such as tone production, rhythmic accuracy, and intonation across the ensemble.
With concise explanations and instrument-specific Master Class videos, students receive targeted guidance that supports both in-class and at-home learning. For example, during a sectional rehearsal, brass players can review articulation techniques via their tailored video resources, reinforcing what’s taught in full ensemble.
The inclusion of varied accompaniments—from piano to full ensemble tracks—engages students and enhances their sense of pulse and ensemble playing. Directors can use these accompaniments for rhythm training, style matching, or end-of-week performance goals.
The leveled structure provides built-in benchmarks and assessment indicators, making it easy to track individual and group progress. For instance, a director might use Level 1’s midpoint goals as checkpoints before introducing more complex time signatures or key changes in Level 2. This structure also aligns well with district curriculum frameworks or portfolio-based assessments.
With Sound Innovations Online, you can adjust the pacing and focus of your teaching at any time during the semester to address differentiation and the unique needs within your classroom.
Also, you can access streaming audio and video content and explore the wealth of additional repertoire available online.
