Jump-start Band Journeys with John Kinyon
As one of the most prolific composers and educators of 20th-century America, John Kinyon crafted songs and methods that formed the core of early school band performances. Leveraging his compositions and education experience, Kinyon developed a method book designed to take beginners from day one with their instrument to their very first concerts; in other words, meeting developing students where they are at and taking them where they need to go. John Kinyon’s Basic Training Course is a Sweetwater favorite among busy educators and modern students — it’s a flexible learning tool that’s equally effective for individual instruction or group settings.
