Written by Peter Boonshaft and Chris Bernotas, the Sound Innovations Ensemble Development series bridges the gap between method books and performance music by isolating and breaking down ensemble concepts. Each book contains over 100 exercises and chorales grouped by key, providing plenty of source material for learning how to balance and create a rich, full sound. Perfect for prepping for festival and concert seasons, Ensemble Development is available for young, intermediate, and advanced bands.

“I really like how customizable the book is and how easy it is to mix and match different exercises to cover various topics. It covers a bunch of different keys, but is consistent in the exercises in each key. The variety is something that I love. It has some traditional chorales by Bach, but also new ones by modern composers. I also love that it includes different time signatures like 7/8 and 5/8. It was a great way to introduce those time signatures to my band in a clear and concise way.”

"The Ensemble Development books have been great in helping us prepare for solo and ensemble festival. My students have grown tremendously with the different skills provided in the exercises.
The wide variety of chorales are a blessing to have, as I’m always looking to expose my group to a better sound. The structure of the book is the best part of it. It makes lesson planning very easy."
