WARM-UPS & STUDIES
The Artistry of Fundamentals for Band
Frank Erickson.
Frank Erickson has taken a unique approach in this extremely functional book. Each
of the eight units comprising the book is in a different key and contains a chorale
arrangement, scale studies, arpeggios, interval studies, articulation practice, rhythm
studies, a speed drill, and a work in the relative minor key. But the exercises themselves
are different from unit to unit, which means that your students have the opportunity
to work on the same kinds of technical demands in different ways, instead of simply
repeating previously learned exercises in different keys. Major keys covered (along with
their relative minors) are Bb, F, C, Eb, G, Ab, Db and D. The helpful appendix contains
basic scales in the additional keys of Gb, A, E and Bb Major, as well as special lip
slurs for brass, basic chord structures, and rhythms with rests in mixed meters. A very
intelligently conceived study book that is certain to make better players of your students!

Band Technique Step by Step
Robert Elledge & Donald Haddad.
This book is perfect for middle school and junior high bands! A thorough, easy-to-use
band technique program, it provides material that is ideal for use in full band rehearsals,
sectionals and private lessons. It can be used for rehearsal warm-up, chair placement
auditions, sight-reading development, special skill development...in short, it will form an
important part of your complete band curriculum. There are sixteen basic units, each in
a different key, and each unit contains studies on intonation, scales, tonguing, rhythm,
arpeggios, intervals, and harmony. In addition to the sixteen basic units, which cover eight
major and eight minor keys, there are four concert chorales, advanced rhythm studies,
a chromatic study, a step-by-step progress chart, a complete fingering chart for each
instrument, and two pages of private lesson studies for each instrument. All in all, this is an
especially well-organized and functional book that you will depend on year after year!

Beyond the Chorale
David R. Gillingham & Dennis W. Fischer.
A collection of ten miniature concert pieces in a variety of styles, textures, timbral
combinations, tonalities, rhythms, harmonies, and melodic material that transcend
the traditional warm-up by offering many other pedagogical challenges that
are guaranteed to raise the musicality of any band. The pieces serve multiple
simultaneous functions including warm-up, technique building, intonation
enhancement, sight-reading, and much more. This is the missing bridge between the
daily regimented warm-up and the music that makes up our curriculum.

Chorales and Exercises to Emphasize the Art of Legato
Playing for the Middle-Level Band
Larry Clark & Sean O'Loughlin.
Give your middle-level band the tools they need to produce smooth legato playing.
This series of books for all band instruments presents a logical sequence in a variety
of keys to improve this important aspect of band performance. Each key has drills
that emphasize basic understanding and builds on chord progression movement from
whole notes to half notes and then quarter notes. Each sequence then builds to a full
chorale setting based on the studied chord progressions. This progressive approach
to connecting notes will have a lasting impact on the tone, balance, blend and
intonation of your ensemble. There are also daily warm-ups included to build strength
and flexibility in the brass, technical facility in the woodwinds and rudiments in the
percussion. Since the book is specifically designed for the middle-level band, there
has been careful consideration given to instrument range and the keys presented.

Count Me In
Darcy Vogt Williams & Brian Balmages.
A fabulous comprehensive approach to rhythm, taking
students from the most basic building block of music -
the quarter note - to compound meter and everything
in between! Daily exercises isolate the building blocks
of rhythm in a logical and sequential way. Ensembles
(no instruments required) in the form of rounds,
duets, trios, and full-page performance pieces allow
students to learn and perform advanced rhythms
without using instruments. Games are suggested
throughout to make rhythm instruction fun. Students
will gain confidence and fluency with a number of fresh
methods suggested throughout the book. Perfect for
students who do not yet have their instruments and
as a supplement for directors who want to develop better rhythm and pulse in their
students and ensembles.

Essential Musicianship for Band
Fundamental Ensemble Concepts
Eddie Green, John Benzer, David Bertman & Evelio Villarreal.
The goal of this collection is to provide appropriate exercises for use at every
rehearsal. These may be used at any stage of ensemble development, including the
beginner level. Basic performance skills are introduced individually and then combined
for more challenging practice. While the concepts are presented in developmental
order, the intent is not to proceed line by line, but rather to purposefully and
consistently practice targeted skills until proficiency is achieved.
