Helps Avoid Student Overwhelm

Unlike method books where most exercises feel like an insurmountable challenge, Band Fundamentals Book 1 gives students a concept or skill and then provides an adequate number of practice lines to develop that objective before it moves to the next level.

Book 1 helps you build a solid foundation in these rhythm elements. 

Band Fundamentals Book 2 features a focused learning approach where each new skill is isolated, presented in the simplest setting, and then expanded. Students are focused on specific learning objectives.

· The substantial number of exercises dedicated to reinforcing each objective helps students develop confidence and skill.

· Tone, staccato, legato, major scales and chromaticism are addressed.

· These rhythmic subdivisions are included.

· Includes Introductions to cut-time and six-eight time signatures.

Band directors across the country have called the Band Fundamentals Scale Book the easiest, most efficient way to ensure scale and rudiment success for all students. 

· Provides fingerings and rudiment sticking in the exercises - your students will learn more confidently than ever. 

· Each first octave scale consists of thirteen short step-by-step exercises. Students are not overwhelmed using this organized and informative approach. You have to see and experience this with your students!

· Whether teaching first or second octave scales, chromatics, arpeggios, or snare rudiments, just a few minutes per day yields remarkable results! 

Major Scales-Chromatic Scales-Arpeggios
NARD 26 Standard Rudiments

The exercises of the Band Fundamentals Sight Reading Book are derived directly from band literature.

Once students have learned basic subdivision of the beat, these studies create the bridge that makes a new world of band literature accessible.

This book is comprised of rhythm, scale, and range exercises. Like all books in the series, there is a great percussion component.
