Six Steps to Success is designed for the intermediate student after they
have progressed past beginning instructional books. This volume contains
forty etudes that address the musical abilities of developing students in
six areas of playing: warm-up, legato, articulation, scales and compound
meter. After an initial warm-up section, there are five etudes for each of
the eight major keys that intermediate students need to master. These will
help students take the next necessary steps, leading to more advanced
standard pedagogical methods and etudes. Each etude is engraved on
one page for ease of reading, and a complete fingering chart is included.
This is an excellent new addition to the repertoire of the intermediate
student and can be used by students alone, or with the guidance of a
private teacher. It would also be a great resources for use as audition
material for honor bands.
