Sciaino, Peter: United System for Winds & Percussion

A Mixed-Level Program for Groups & Individual Instruction

The United System for Winds and Percussion is an individual or group lesson system developed for teachers by veteran music educator and well-known composer Peter Sciaino. Mr. Sciaino is not only the author and creator of this unique resource, but an avid user in his own classes. Specifically created to fit the need for repertoire that is not only flexible but simultaneously multi-level – the United System for Winds and Percussion solves a problem that more and more programs are facing. The United System for Winds and Percussion uses three progressive levels within each book: Bronze, Silver & Gold. These levels correspond to increased difficulty within each lesson. Each of the levels can be used progressively or at the same time, depending on the individual proficiency of each student. As class size and instrumentation in band programs become increasingly uncertain – the United System for Winds and Percussion will be a welcome support for any situation.
