unique letter-note style of music notation to ensure a

Continue with the same method with Books 1–3, plus
plenty of supplemental materials to add variety
and reinforcement.
Supplemental Materials:
• Work on small ensemble playing skills with the flexible
Christmas & Chanukah and Strictly Classics
ensemble collections.
• Provide plenty of repertoire variety with the correlated
performance music.
• Encourage at-home practice with the pop solo books
that include accompaniment CDs.
