Scale Preps for Beginning Band—Mike
Hannickel. The only problem with having
beginning level bands play their scales is
that all the sections can't yet play a scale!
Mike Hannickel offers this sensible warm-up
collection that lets students begin developing
listening and technique skills through scale
performance by using the portions of the
scales they can play. Scales and intervals in
the keys of Bb, Eb and F are introduced, all
without the clarinets having to cross the break
or the trumpets having to ascend an octave.
This makes lots of sense for young musicians!

Skill Stretchers For Band (Level 1: Moving
Beyond The First Five Notes)—Heather
Hoefle. Not a warm-upnot a chorale. Skill
Stretchers are a way to efficiently move your
band beyond the first five notes by working
to extend ranges, accidentals and key
signatures (in a way that students discover
for themselves!). In addition, Skill Stretchers
prepare the clarinets to go over the break,
introduce lip slurs for brass as well as octave
slurs for other woodwinds. Accents, flams,
paradiddles and nine-stroke rolls are included
for the snare drum. Octaves and arpeggios are
introduced to mallet percussion. Skill Stretchers
are a supplement to any band method. Used for
a few minutes daily, they provide a systematic
way to conquer many of the individual
challenges that occur with each instrument.

Skill Stretchers For Band II (Level 2:
Moving Beyond the B-flat Concert
Scale)—Heather Hoefle. Do you wish your
clarinets would practice going over the
break? Do you want your trumpets to practice

those high note fingerings? Do your
percussionists forget the rudiments? Are you
struggling to introduce chromatic fingerings
in a heterogeneous classroom setting? Skill
Stretchers For Band II is a set of exercises
for group practice of all these concepts AT
ONCE! A follow-up to Skill Stretchers For
Band, this invaluable teaching tool will help
your band move beyond B flat concert scale
efficiently and effectively. Prepare your
students for the next performance level in
just minutes a day!

Tone Studies for Band—James Curnow.
This exceptionally useful set will help you to
improve some of the areas of performance
that are often so lacking in today's bands: tone
production; intonation; musical line; blend and
balance. Jim Curnow's belief that good tone
production is at the root of all good playing
prompted him to write this set of studies that
focus on this concept, and at the same time are
interesting to play!

Warm-Up Fundamentals—Gregg Gausline
& Brian Balmages. This set of warm-ups
was conceived as a tool for directors to
use as part of a daily ensemble routine.
It covers important fundamental concepts
such as breathing, long tones, interval
slurs, articulation, flexibility, chords and
chorales. Each section breaks concepts
down to their most fundamental elements
before integrating them together. This
gradual approach to the ensemble warm-up
helps extend the practical applications
of these exercises well into rehearsals
and performances.
