Herman Knoll

Herman Knoll led the team that wrote and designed the landmark Hal Leonard publication Essential Elements. This series of method books has redefined the way students and teachers approach the early stages of music education. This is one of countless products Herman has helped develop since joining Hal Leonard in the early 1980s. Herman’s approach to his publications includes the idea of getting out to the schools to witness first hand how the students are being taught and how he can develop meaningful materials to assist both student and teacher.
