"Exactly what is wanted and needed" according to Tim Lautzenheiser, these books are designed so that students will be motivated to take their books home and learn new notes, rhythms, dynamics, and articulations on their own in a simple and straightforward way. Each "chunk" exercise is short enough that directors can easily access each student quickly and effectively. This affords students the opportunity to have frequent assessments to help them develop good habits for performance during earlier stages of development. These books can be used from the first year of instruction through junior high. They can offer remedial help for learners who need more time to develop as well as provide extremely high goals for your advanced learners in need of a challenge. Chunks will make a huge impact on your program.
