TESTIMONIALS

The Alto/Baritone Saxophone playbook is a great method for teaching a beginner. Each unit takes the student through a musical journey and builds their confidence along the way. The book also teaches valuable musical theory lessons that are not normally found in the average musical books. Definitely worth every penny.

Joe Covill is a brilliant musician and master educator. his company Audible Intelligence Music is a fantastic publisher of excellent books and music which will greatly enhance YOUR music program. I give AIM my highest recommendation!!

Audible Intelligence Music’s “In the Zone” provides an excellent curriculum to facilitate students’ progression from beginner to a solid instrumental foundation. What differentiates their approach is the emphasis on quickly increasing skill acquisition and confidence, fueling budding musicians’ motivation to keep going. Lessons are deceptively simple so that once a concept is mastered, students are irresistibly drawn to continue onto the next. Also, because of the system’s emphasis on music theory basics (e.g., reading, rhythm, language, dynamics), the student can easily switch to or second on other instruments and the learning fundamentals are transferable. My son used this curriculum for different instruments, both independently and as a member of an ensemble, and found the process both useful and enjoyable.

Understanding the basics of notes, rhythms, and keys is critical for students to learn to play with confidence and musical artistry. I especially like the Unit format of In The Zone and the systematic progression of skill building and theory exercises, songs and composer information that provides a broad foundation of musical elements. In The Zone is a proven basic methods resource that I use not only with beginning students but also as a source of review and technical repetition with students that have played for some time.

In The Zone   –  a different music book teaching the basics of music.

–  could be used by an adult wanting to finally learn how to read music.

–  can be used to teach “playing by ear” students how to read music.

For public and private piano students, the innovative products of AIM are a valuable addition to teaching music.

Using Math + Music has proven to be interesting for students learning basic music.

In The Zone, the band book, is interesting to the students, as well as extremely innovative.

Through research, there  is no other book quite like it.

I recommend these books for musical training.

Have you ever heard a beginning band that had a fabulous core sound and wondered, how do they do that!  Nikki Crathorne’s bands are those bands, and now she has shared her secrets of success in this new method book.  I have used this book for a couple of years and when I take my bands to festivals I am asked, “How do you get your trumpets to sound like that!”  This book focuses on the fundamentals, allowing students to focus on their sound.

WOW!  Wish they’d have had this when I was a kid.
