FJH Music's Measures of Success Clarinet Book 1 is an innovative clarinet method designed to ignite musical curiosity and foster a comprehensive understanding of music. This performance-based method provides students with achievable short and long term goals to stay motivated while learning proper technique and musicianship skills.

Great Musical Content and Play-Along CDs Promote Optimal Development

Every exercise in this method has been carefully sequenced to promote optimal skill development through great musical content and play-along CDs. Students will enjoy full band arrangements and original compositions in a variety of musical styles. The CDs allow students to practice with professional accompaniments, helping them to develop critical listening skills and understand how their part fits into an ensemble.

Built-In Assessments Measure Progress

Following each chapter, students complete an assessment to evaluate their skills and knowledge. These "Encore." assessments provide accountability and help directors and students measure progress to set new goals. Students can use the assessments to identify areas that need more practice and focus their efforts.

Integrated Music History and Cross-Curriculum Learning

Measures of Success presents music history alongside art, literature and world history, giving students context for the time periods they are studying. Facts about composers, artists, authors, paintings and world events are incorporated throughout the method to encourage cross-disciplinary learning. Students develop a well-rounded understanding of music's role in society.

Achievable Goals Keep Students Motivated

This method is divided into six chapters, each followed by an assessment. By setting clear goals and benchmarks, students stay motivated to progress to the next level. The pacing allows students to focus on proper technique, tone production, rhythm and pulse without becoming overwhelmed. Measures of Success is effective for both group and private instruction.
