A Structured Path to First-class Musicianship
Premier Performance method books are structured to teach and advance the three cornerstones of musicianship, which the book’s creators identify as “superior tone quality, accurate rhythm reading skills, and technical facility.” Geared toward first and second-year students, these books place great emphasis on rhythm studies, which are commonly a challenging area for young players. The books are also paired with downloadable accompaniment recordings — both solo and solo accompaniment — so students can put learned concepts to use in actual musical situations. Given their outstanding instructional materials and remarkable value, musicians at Sweetwater highly recommend Ed Sueta Music Publications' Premier Performance series books for primary school band programs of all sizes.
