Teacher's Rating

I have been teaching music for fifteen years. I gave my students each a different book according to their instrument. Like keyboard, guitar, drum set, bass, alto sax and baritone sax, vibraphone, tenor sax and soprano sax. The books are very clear and when I student has a question I don't have to walk over to his/her music stand. I can turn to the page in my own book. I plan on continuing to use these books because they have helped my class tremendously. I recommend the Teacher's Guide and all of the other books to teachers and/ or musicians who are trying to get their band established.
