These band resources range from VERY beginner band students to students with a few years with a focus on music literacy. Some of the exercises lend themselves to call/response teaching and some are routines for everyday ensemble warmups and sequential development of skills. Feel free to send me your appropriate feedback!
This collection of beginner songs includes 7 notes (Concert Bflat, C, D, Eflat, F, G and Aflat) with songs and Twister exercises to get your band students READING THE NOTES! Jean Kent started this book and Bruce Dunn enhanced with a few extras!
These were the original Twister exercises. They were intended to teach students to expand on the first few notes and increase their range and teach them to read. These exercises can be used as warmups and even as testing materials.
You can implement these exercises from the start! Level one starts out with ONLY 2 notes and then only uses the first 5 notes in varied, etude-style format with a clean look and numbered measures. You can play copycat with students, teach them to improve their basic skills while not changing the level for each of the 11 exercises. Level 2 adds eighth notes - and level 3 adds a new key, but not new rhythms, so they get a lot of practice on the early skill development.
This short start of Remington-like exercises and lips slurs is a great way to start your band each day, working for blend, balance, chromatic fingerings around as well as flexibilities for the brass and 5 and 9-stroke rolls for your budding percussionists.
Here's a little packet with extended major scales, scales in thirds, chromatic scales and etudes based on 6 major scales.
