The purpose of this thesis is the (1) study of the band class methods in use, (2) a discussion of their effectiveness, (3) an original attempt to show how many of the problems of band methods can be solved.
It should be noted that a class of instrumental students may be a group of several or all different kinds of band instruments together. This study, however, will be concerned mainly with group instruction which combines all of the band instruments together. The term \"method\" as used herein designates a book of music material for class instruction in all band instruments. The term \"instructor\" is used to denote an instruction book written for only one instrument, for example, \"trombone instructor\".
