Next-Level Digital Learning with "Habits Universal"

This method book goes far beyond the printed page. Each copy includes access to Habits Universal, a cutting-edge online platform perfect for modern classrooms and home practice:

• Video Assessment Gradebook: Students can seamlessly submit video recordings of their performances as a primary source of assessment.
• LMS Integration: Fully compatible with PowerSchool, Canvas, Google Classroom, Brightspace, Edmodo, Schoology, and more!
• Premium Digital Resources: Includes supplemental rhythm vocabulary sheets, accompaniment tracks, video start-up clinics, and a professional video coach for every single exercise in the book.

What Makes This Method Unique?

• Day-One Fundamentals: Diatonic solfege begins on the very first day, alongside initial mouthpiece exercises prior to playing the first notes in the book.
• Seamless Rhythm Integration: Sequential rhythm charts (progressing through quarters, eighths, dotted rhythms, and sixteenths) are embedded directly in the book, then presented with pitches to guarantee a smooth transition.
• Expanded Key Signatures: Introduces Concert B-flat, E-flat, A-flat, C, and F (with Concert G in the back). The unique introduction of Concert C ensures students master pitches like B, E, and A early on.
• Student-Friendly Visuals: Features shaded boxes around first-time challenges and utilizes the “enharmonic ladder” and “call-and-response game” to help students easily identify and master new concepts.
• Skill-Building Focus: Technique-focused drills are strategically embedded to prepare students for future, more complex "Habits" exercises.
