CODE

Not just a beginning band method, but everything you need on day one—never supplement outdated content again.
Content and supplies are provided and ready to use—scrambling to find
and gather supplies is a thing of the past.
Packaged like you want.
Over 170 pages of content.
Designed for new and expert directors—unlike other methods, you can jump right in. No planning required.
Two different editions for today's band halls.
LIKE-INSTRUMENT EDITION
Appropriate content, tailored for each instument—oboe shouldn't start on F!
​
FULL BAND EDITION
Revolutionary pacing—every instrument gets attention (unlike in those old outdated
method books).

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!
Expertly crafted sequencing
Students stay motivated with our comprehensive gamified sequencing—
older method books frustrate and
discourage students.
