Every band student will need a copy of Accent on Achievement Book 1. This is a method book and contains many songs and musical exercises we will play in class.
Please be sure that the Accent on Achievement Book 1 book you purchase matches your child's instrument. The instrument will be listed in the upper-right-hand corner. The book in this example image is for the Flute. If your child plays the clarinet, they will need a clarinet book. A trombone player will need a trombone book, and so on.
These books are available at the local music stores, and can also be found easily online. If you find a gently used book for sale online and would like to check that it is the correct one, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Chandler.
