Book 2 of this comprehensive band method by James O. Froseth builds on foundational skills with expanded repertoire and deeper musical development.
More than 80 high-quality recorded performances (CD or online audio) continue to model tone and style across all instruments. A diverse selection of music spans American, Latin American, African, European, and Far Eastern traditions, alongside historical styles from early music to jazz, blues, and rock.
Each piece is supported by informative text exploring phrasing, rhythm, style, and cultural context. The unique Rhythmic Pattern Dictionary reinforces rhythmic understanding, while the flexible “theme and variation” format allows for individual pacing. Ear training and improvisation remain integral, supporting well-rounded musicianship at the next stage of learning.
