Veteran middle school band director Timothy Loest has drawn from two decades of experience to create an all-encompassing warm-up book, appropriate for elementary, middle, and smaller high school programs. Its logical sequence addresses technical issues at a variety of levels. In addition to a wealth of chorales and scales, the book incorporates articulation and flexibility studies, and an in-depth glossary of musical terms, providing answers to questions posed by younger musicians. Percussion educator Kevin Lepper has added an array of percussion exercises that will significantly improve the technique of individual percussionists, while developing the overall sound of your ensemble. Warmups and Beyond is an ideal resource for every developing band library.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE Outstanding educational resources by Quincy C. Hilliard

SUPERIOR BANDS IN SIXTEEN WEEKS A Systematic Approach to Developing Superior TONE, INTONATION, BALANCE, & TECHNIQUE

6

BB204

Often directors begin the school year by immediately focusing on music for their fall concerts. Consequently, fundamentals are sometimes set aside. Superior Bands in Sixteen Weeks focuses on balancing music and technique throughout the school year. During the first few months of school, when directors evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their ensembles, this text becomes a key component in improving any weaknesses. By using this all-inclusive approach, directors will spend more time working on fundamental issues at the beginning of the year, leaving the remainder of the year open for great music making. A sound musical foundation always leads to a tremendous performance.

Effective in small group instruction, private lessons, and large ensemble classes Percussion rudiments are integrated throughout the book Notes on festival and concert preparation, based on decades of adjudication experiences

Section 1: TONE • Band Balance (short chorales) • Chromatic Warm-ups • Lip Flexibility Section 2: TECHNIQUE • Major and Minor Scales • Scales in Thirds • Chromatic Scales • Arpeggios • Breath Control Exercises • Rhythm Reinforcement Section 3: BALANCE • Warm-up and Tuning Chorales Section 4: INTONATION AND PERCUSSION RUDIMENTS • Intonation Test • Pitch Tendencies and Recommended Adjustments for each instrument • Common Percussion Rudiments included for reference

Hilliard’s teaching concepts. It is designed to develop skills in musicianship that focus on tone production, balance, blend, and technical precision. The book can be effective in small or large ensemble settings, sectionals, and private instruction.

SCALES AND TUNING EXERCISES FOR SUPERIOR BANDS A Systematic Approach to Improving SCALES, INTONATION, & BALANCE The newest addition to the bestselling Superior Bands series, Scales and Tuning Exercises for Superior Bands is a great resource for bands looking to improve intonation and balance through scale studies, chorales and harmonized exercises. This book can be used as a daily warm-up for intermediate or advanced ensembles. In contrast to other scale books, this book actually teaches all scales as opposed to just presenting them. Students will understand why a scale sounds as it does and where it fits into music-making. Special tips for playing chorales and harmonized studies are also included. A phenomenal resource!
