Described by one director as “a method book for a piece of music,” Tyler’s time-saving Companion Guides reinforce key concepts like unison melody, rhythm, articulation, scales, chorales, and more. Companion Guides are included in new titles and available for free download on Tyler’s website for all concert band and FLEX publications grades .5–4. Companion Guides for many popular titles are also available in MakeMusic Cloud, giving you the opportunity to assign interactive exercises and free up classroom time to focus on ensemble development. 

Assign parts faster and engage everyone in your percussion section! Percussion parts rarely align perfectly with the number of players in your ensemble, and it's not always easy to tell how many players you actually need. Tyler’s free, easy-to-use spreadsheets for each publication outline part distribution, suggest smart omissions for smaller groups, and offer practical tips for doubling parts in larger ensembles. Included in all new band publications, and available for all of Tyler’s previous concert band titles on his website.
