We use the lesson book Essential Elements. This book has an online feature that enables me to give specific assignments online and students will be able to record and submit playing assessments. In addition, many assignments will be given verbally in class. Basically students are reviewing what we did in their previous lesson and going onto new material when they feel ready. More specifically, first year students can circle the exercises they are responsible for in their lesson books, and second year students can mark specific areas in their band music that need special attention.
