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-up – not a chorale – but
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!
Prepare the clarinets to go over the break,
introduce lip slurs for brass and 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. An excellent supplement to any
band method – used for a few minutes a day,
these exercises provide a systematic way to
conquer many of the unique challenges that
crop up with each instrument.

Skill Stretchers for Band II (Level 2:
Moving Beyond the B-flat Concert
Scale)—Heather Hoefle. Do you wish

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

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!

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

chords and chorales. Each section breaks
concepts down to their most fundamental
elements before integrating them together.

applications of these exercises well into
rehearsals and performances.
