Essential Musicianship for Band
Ensemble Concepts
Eddie Green, John Benzer & David Bertman.
This amazing ensemble technique book zeros in on important, specific skills each
musician must develop for successful ensemble performance. What makes this book
stand apart is the degree of attention given to the most basic of techniques - yet
those so often overlooked by musicians. Focus on sound, balance, what happens
at the end of a note, matching the intensity of other players in the ensemble - these
and many other difficult concepts are delivered with clarity, including goals that focus
the players' attention throughout the exercise. Both new and seasoned directors will
find inspiration and helpful techniques here. Your band will most certainly benefit from
regular use of this book in rehearsal. It will work well for any band performing music at
the easy through medium levels.

The First Sight-Reading Book for Band
Jerry A. West.
As with the other volumes in this series, this introduction to sight-reading is designed
as a supplementary method that requires very little preparation or rehearsal time.
Each of the 50 short etudes has a melody and a harmony, so everyone can begin by
playing the melody together and then add harmony parts as students develop skills
and confidence. It's economic, convenient, and most importantly, effective.
