They are not technically demanding, and can be used in very creative ways to help sensitize your ensemble so they will respond to your various conducting gestures. 2381069 Band Set & Score. ME 75.00 Rhythm Builders for Developing Bands—James Curnow. Your program will definitely improve with this set of 14 studies designed to aid in the teaching and development of good rhythmic reading abilities! These carefully crafted musical mini-compositions begin with simple time signatures and rhythms and work to more complex rhythms and meters. Musically rewarding, these pieces are meant to be studied on a daily basis, and will help your students develop basic rhythmic skills. 2380426 Band Set & Score. . . E 69.00 Rhythm, Keys and Time, Vol. 1 (An Approach to Building Ensemble Sight- Reading Skills, Grades 1 & 2)—Jon Bubbett. An easy-to-use approach to improving your ensemble's sight-reading skills! Based on the University of Texas at Austin's University Interscholastic League (UIL) sight-reading criteria for band, it covers every rhythm, key signature, and time signature that your students will encounter at the Grade 1 and 2 levels. This is a fun and easy way to cover all of the fundamentals of sight reading. 11386373 Band Set & Score. . . E 60.00 Rhythm, Keys and Time, Vol. 2 (An Approach to Building Ensemble Sight Reading Skills, Grades 3 & 4)—Jon Bubbett. Improve your band's ability to sight-read with this ensemble approach based on the University of Texas at Austin's University Interscholastic League (UIL) sight-reading criteria for band.

When used consistently, this is a fun and effective way to improve your band's sight- reading skills! 11386379 Band Set & Score. ME 60.00 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! This sensible warm-up collection 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 B-flat, E-flat, 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! 2474907 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . .B-VE 59.00 Sight Reading Builders for Developing Bands—James Curnow. Part of the Essentials of Musicianship series, Sight- Reading Builders for Developing Bands presents 14 short pieces to help students learn this very important, but often under- practiced, skill. The pieces are arranged in progressive order of difficulty and explore a variety of styles, tempos, dynamic contrasts, key changes, and changes in meter. Students will be appropriately challenged through all the early grade levels, and conductors will find this collection makes it easy and convenient to practice this essential musical skill. 10015606 Band Set & Score E-ME 75.00 Sight Reading Studies—James Curnow. Though not a favorite of all students, sight-reading is a fact of musical life. So what better way to inspire them than with this all-encompassing collection? Fun and engaging exercises range from the easy through medium levels, and thanks to a great arranging effort, your students will hardly notice they are learning. This is sure to help your band grow to musical maturity. 2702030 Band Set & Score E-M 80.00 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. 11207587 Band Set & Score. .VE 50.00 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 lip slurs and your flute players to remember those high-note fingerings? Do your percussionists forget the rudiments? Are you struggling to introduce chromatic fingerings in a heterogeneous classroom setting? This invaluable set of exercises for group practice covers all of these concepts at once! Move beyond the B-flat concert scale efficiently and effectively - prepare your students for the next performance level in just minutes a day! 11207680 Band Set & Score. . . E 60.00 Symphonic Band Clinic—Robert W. Smith. This is the fourth in a series of four progressive, in-depth and highly organized warm-up programs developed and used by Robert W. Smith. Highly organized, each clinic contains four segments: tone, technique, theory and composition, and a chorale; and will effectively meet your warm-up needs and support your teaching objectives. 2481094 Band Set & Score. MA 87.00 Tone Builders for Developing Bands— James Curnow. Exceptionally useful! This collection of 24 etudes is specifically designed to help develop good individual and ensemble tone production and intonation. Citing tone production as one of the most important facets of good playing, Jim Curnow starts beginning players with material they have learned in their beginning method books, and then moves on to new and more advanced concepts. A great aid for your program! 2352292 Band Set & Score. . . E 69.00 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! 2315331 Band Set & Score. . . E 80.00 Tuning Chorales for Band Vol. 3 (Keys: D-flat Major, C Minor, C Major)—Richard L. Saucedo. Incorporating the concept of drones as well as tuning hints written into both the score and parts, this volume of chorales will help students understand more of the tuning process: how it "feels" as well as how it sounds. 11205783 Band Set & Score. ME 50.00 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. 10279600 Band Set & Score. ME 85.00 Pop & Show Selections Beginning & Very Easy Any Way You Want It (Flexible Instrumentation)—Neal Schon & Steve Perry/arr. Michael Story.
