Since 2005, Reed Music has published a range of educational books suitable for use by beginning musicians. The ‘My Favourite Tutor Book’ series is used by thousands of students across Australia and is complemented by ‘My Favourite Duets’ — 180 duets in 3 volumes. Australia’s band method, Band Class 1, 2 & 3, is used by school band programs nationwide.
My Favourite Tutor Books
A fresh, uncluttered beginner method for woodwinds, brass and piano, built entirely around tunes students love to play. My Favourite Tutor Books feature over 150 well-known tunes — Australian and New Zealand folk and swing favourites, nursery rhymes, anthems and children’s songs — placed in a unique order that builds technique progressively, with no dry exercises getting in the way. Available for flute, oboe, clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French Horn, Euphonium, Tuba and piano, each book is transposed so different woodwinds can play the same tunes together.
- 150+ tunes from Australia & New Zealand, ordered for progressive learning
- Transposed to match other instruments — play together, correctly transposed
- Uncluttered pages with big margins — teach your own way
- Scales & glossary matching Grade 1–3 exam range
- Larger print to begin, easing to standard size
- Pull-out fingering chart, and illustrated for fun

Flexible duet arrangements of traditional tunes — playable in any combination of instruments. 180 duets across three graded books (60 pieces each), for woodwinds, brass and mallet percussion. Play them as duets, add the optional contemporary piano accompaniment, or play along with backing tracks. A companion Accompaniment book is also available.
