Instructor Resources
Alexander Publishing has a wide variety of resources to assist you in both your teaching efforts and student development.
Naxos Music Library
Presently packaged with Professional Orchestration, the Naxos Music Library is an on demand, 24/7/365 audio library with over 150,000 streaming tracks available. When you adopt Professional Orchestration (or one of its volumes) as a class text, each student gets an individual, renewable one-year subscription that can be used on or off campus. Play lists for your individual class can be set up, free of charge, as a required listening portfolio. Professors adopting Professional Orchestration also get a complementary one-year renewable subscription.

Summer Clinics

Offline Student/Instructor Forums
Through our Sonic Control web site, once an Alexander Publishing text has been adopted, we can set up an offline forum that only you and your students can see. This is a free service upon textbook adoption.

Every book in the Professional Orchestration is available as either a digital download or on CD. Each Professional Orchestration download comes with book, Professional Mentor and one-year renewable subscription to the Naxos Music Library.
Downloadable MP3s
Through our relationship with eMusic, students can legally download classical, jazz, film scoring and some pop works for as low as $0.22 track. Please contact us for information on how this works.
