Comprehensive Ensemble Warm-Ups
Medium Easy - Medium
Medium Easy - Medium
This warm-up set is geared more towards the developing high school ensemble, though advance middle school ensembles may find use as well. This warm-up takes the band through much of the fundamental process during every day rehearsal. It contains long tones, flexibility/lip slur exercises, articulation practice, range development, multiple full ensemble chorales, and dynamics practice. There are plenty of engaging and technical percussion parts as well. Good luck!
** Note: the long tones sequence works with the Cinematic Long Tones**
Register Stretching
|
"Register Stretching" is based off of exercises for clarinet players to practice crossing the break. There's a multitude of exercises to practice the fundamentals in different circumstances. This set allows for the full band to play along and work on varying fundamentals as well. Hopefully the cinematic accompaniment can make it fun to work on this important technique!

Ensemble Singing
|
Many, many directors will tell you that singing within the concert band rehearsal is a game changer. I agree! However, sometimes when students get behind the instrument, they want to hide that singing voice. "I play an instrument so I don't have to sing." This resource is designed to help students through the singing process, making it more comfortable. It goes step by step, and needs nothing other than the ensemble seated in front of you. Try it out and see! Singing in band is a very good thing!!!
