Recipe for Success: Classroom Beginner Edition by Karen Houghton and Janet B. Nye
This beginner edition is intended for first year horn students in a classroom setting. It is compiled from Recipe for Success: A balanced curriculum for young horn players.
For the complete pedagogical journey, the “trained chef”/band director needs access to the original 260 page book, which serves as the perfect teacher’s guide, providing additional beginner resource material not contained in the student edition.
As an additional bonus, this book comes with a 3-hole punch, allowing students to easily add to a binder.
To continue their education, individual students are encouraged to purchase the complete book when they have mastered the material found here.
Teachers: Use the code recipe10 at checkout for 10% off 10 or more copies!

This has been such a wonderful book for my summer student here on vacation from Germany! She loves the pictures which helps her navigate as she does not read English, but speaks it 👍 She will be in the 4th grade this year, and is so excited to take this book back with her! We’ve had such a fun time in lessons!
