A well-written series of method books provides teachers and students with a progressive, carefully paced curriculum, from the first lesson through several years of study. The best of the methods available today include creative music in multiple styles, sequential introduction of concepts, and ongoing reinforcement of skills and ideas. Although most teachers rely on such series for their obvious benefits, no method is a one-size-fits-all proposition. With a bit of personalized tailoring, teachers can make their preferred method series work beautifully for the unique needs of nearly any student.
