Les auteurs ont conçu - avec l'aide de professeurs d'instruments - une méthode permettant d'avoir un outil à la fois ludique et vivant pour l'enfant, et le plus précis possible pour le professeur, tout en permettant à celui-ci d'enseigner suivant sa propre sensibilité musicale.Les avantages, non exhaustifs, de la formation musicale par l'orchestre :- un rapport beaucoup plus direct et moins abstrait entre le solfège et la pratique instrumentale (tout l'apprentissage solfégique étant directement lié à l'instrument que l'élève a choisi)- passer par l'oral avant l'écrit- une formation auditive plus développée, due aux partitions interprétées par différents instrumentistes- une meilleure compréhension/analyse des oeuvres proposées grâce à la pratique instrumentale- développer l'autonomie de l'élève- la pratique instrumentale collective au sein de ce cours donnera l'envie (dès que l'élève aura le niveau suffisant) de rejoindre un des ensembles instrumentaux du conservatoire ou de l'école de musiqueChaque volume de Symphonic FM se présente sous la forme d'un livre de l'élève (choisi en fonction de l'instrument pratiqué) et d'un livre du professeur.A partir du volume 5, nous avons changé la présentation des livres des élèves pour des raisons pratiques (densité de l'ouvrage).Il y a désormais :un cahier principal comportant ce qui est commun à tous les instruments une partie séparée spécifique à chaque instrumentcomportant les duos instrumentaux, les versions instrumentales des chants et les pratiques instrumentales.Ainsi, chaque élève achètera non plus le correspondant à la famille de son instrument mais le cahier de son propre instrument.
