Essential Elements Christmas Favorites - Flute: Solos and Band Arrangements Correlated with Essential Elements Band Method

Ok so this is a nice collection of Christmas duet tunes, but really, where are the chords? And a duet is not a “full band arrangement”, which is how this was described.

My son started playing clarinet in August and was bored already of band because he already plays piano and caught on quickly, so I got him this book. He was able to play all the songs by December, which made him happy (and helped him improve on the instrument, too). Plus, it was more fun to hear him play these songs than band arrangements, which are pretty monotonous. Definitely recommend this.

Great for my beginner sixth and seventh graders in band. We can only play about half the songs in the book, but they are great and I love the CD it comes with - gives my small band a big band feeling. I've used this product for two Christmas programs now and we've been able to try the harder songs (with a little success). I would recommend to any small beginner band.

Great book for my 7th grader playing at home this school year.

Essential Elements is a great resource for band. As a retired band director I started using the band method when it first came out in the '90s. The supplemental materials have lived up to my expectations.

Great book, exactly what I was looking for. Although this is really a basic level book, but it does the job just fine.

Needed this for a community band in a retirement village. We played over half of these songs for their Christmas show. Great book!Most of the musician were in their 80's!

it was great.
