Books by Brent Coppenbarger

The amount of knowledge that the band director is expected to know can be overwhelming. He or she is expected to be a teacher, a conductor, an artist, a musician, and an expert on every instrument in the band. This book condenses and organizes the information needed to improve the clarinet section in a single convenient resource.

Rhythms, melodies, and harmonies are the building blocks of music. In Music Theory Secrets: 94 Strategies for the Starting Musician, Brent Coppenbarger offers a full range of methods to help musicians, not only grasp, but remember those key elements upon which the music they play is built: pitch, rhythm, scales, key signatures, and harmony.
