Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Band just got an update! It has been meticulously redesigned to improve the student learning experience and lighten the teacher's load. While the new updates are exciting, you will find that it is the same great method, but with new music and more online resources.

Essential Elements includes free access Essential Elements Interactive (EEi), the ultimate online music education resource. EEi introduces the first-ever, easy set of technology tools for online teaching, learning, assessment, and communication... ideal for teaching today's beginning band and string students, both in the classroom and at home.

These new editions include professionally recorded videos online featuring Essential Elements educators, 50 new copyrighted pop songs available online across all levels, three new song replacements, new color photography, and much more. Best of all, new editions still work side-by-side with previous copies of Essential Elements.
