THE BAND CODE
The future of band is here.
Designed by band directors just like you.
Not just a beginning band method, but everything you need on day one—never supplement outdated content again.
Over 170 pages of content.
Designed for new and expert directors—unlike other methods, you can jump right in. No planning required.
10-40 year old method books are incomplete and require you to fill in the gaps—
The Band Code has filled those gaps for you!
Two different editions for today's band halls.
HOMOGENEOUS CLASSROOM EDITION
Appropriate content, tailored for each instument—oboe shouldn't start on F!
​
FULL BAND CLASSROOM EDITION
Revolutionary pacing—every instrument gets attention (unlike in those old and outdated method books).
​
Outdated method books frustrate and
discourage students.
Expertly crafted sequencing
Students stay motivated with our gamified sequencing—they can play content immediately (on the 1st or 2nd attempt).
Instrument/note familiarity
(Week 2)
Sightreading in new keys
(Week 20)
​Out-of-date method books require students to spend hours—sometimes days—rote learning just one line of music.
Music Theory & Pedagogy like you've never seen
Access worksheets & hundreds of videos on a platform students love—not a clunky website!
Music Theory Videos
Pedagogy Videos from the Pros
DLC (Downloadable Content)
We've packed so much into
The Band Code, but eager students (and teachers) can still download PDFs on our growing library of content.
