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!

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 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!

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,

great aid for your program!

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!

of the tuning process: how it "feels" as well
as how it sounds.

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.
