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!

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.
