These same rhythms are then presented with pitches for a seamless transfer to the music students are performing. Technique and skill-building exercises embedded within the method, which helps to prepare students for future Habits exercises. The introduction of the key of Concert C, which results in students playing the pitches B, E, and A more often (as opposed to the typical emphasis on B-flat, E-flat, and A-flat). The introduction of five keys: Concert B-flat, E-flat, A-flat, C, and F. The Concert G scale is also provided in the back of the book. Left (L) and right (R) indicators for woodwinds along with appropriate chromatic alternate fingering indicators. Shaded boxes around first-time challenges in the student books. A thorough explanation of (T:1) for trombones and rules for when to use it. Rhythm vocabulary that progresses through quarters, eighths, dotted rhythms, sixteenths, and an eighth and two sixteenths. The sequential introduction of the one-handed breakdown of a percussion rudiment before introducing the rudiment itself. The use of the “enharmonic ladder†and the “call-and-response game†to learn enharmonic notes. A thorough explanation of and markings for the “F dilemma†on oboe. An explanation of appropriate flicking on bassoon. Two pages of slow “clarinets only†work that focuses on going over the break and throat tones. .
