Standard of Excellence

Bruce Pearson's Standard of Excellence has grown to become one of the most popular band methods in the world! It offers a complete band method curriculum available for the instrumental educator. The method answers the growing need for educationally aware, curriculum-oriented material, and was the first method of its kind printed in full color. Instead of using supplementary books to provide lesson reinforcement, Standard of Excellence contains valuable supplementary material as part of the method itself. Everything is so intelligently presented that your students will learn quickly, and more importantly, they will not forget what they've learned! Includes:

• Three starting systems to ensure positive results in any beginning situation
• "Excellerator" exercises for advanced students
• Special systems for oboe, French horn and percussion to address their unique needs
• A 600-page conductor score that includes objectives, worksheets, interdisciplinary activities, quizzes, and ideas for developing compositional, theory, and improvisational skills.
