Interval Studies - James Curnow

Every conductor knows the importance of using excellent teaching materials to aid in the development of all aspects of musical growth. The quality of the band's performance must be continually improving. Each component of the ESSENTIALS OF MUSICIANSHIP series is designed to focus on a specific area of musical performance. By using these materials during the warm-up period, the conductor can mazimize this time, and focus on specific areas that are important to the performance of the music being prepared. This is not a book, but rather it is a sheet music publication just like any other band publication.

Intervalic - Sandy Feldstein

This festival-style piece was written to teach students to recognize most of the major and minor melodic intervals through the two main themes presented. As a bonus, the back page of the parts includes both melodies written out for all instruments so that you can use the piece to teach this concept. Lesson plan materials are included with the score. This piece correlates to Book 2 in "The Yamaha Advantage" band method, but can be used with any program of study.

Into Battle! - VanDoren

"Into Battle!" depicts an epic clash of opposing forces on a grand scale! Musicians will be eager to perform this exciting up-tempo work for young band, loosely inspired by Verdi's "Requiem" and the ever haunting "Dies Irae." An mature and bold musical moment for your developing band!

Into Moonlight's Mist - Richard L. Saucedo

Drawing inspiration from the haunting beauty of the ring of mist that sometimes surrounds the moon (known as lunar halo) and also the legends and folklore associated with this phenomenon, Richard has created a masterful work for the concert stage. Into Moonlight's Mist opens quietly with transparent colors, then gradually builds and evolves throughout by adding layers of tonal richness and rhythmic intensity. Dur: 4:30

Into the Clouds! - Richard L. Saucedo

Though written with the young band in mind, this exciting composition packs plenty of drama and intensity in less than 2 minutes! Featuring active percussion writing, powerful brass statements and woodwind flourishes, this is a perfect program opener for any occasion or festival. (Grade 2.5) Dur: 1:50

Into The Darkness - Bill Calhoun

From its mysterious introduction to its dynamic finale, Into the Darkness transports you to the fantasy world of the supernatural. Composed in D minor, the serious nature of Into the Darkness will spark your students' interest, creating an emotional performance and musical intensity for their audience.This piece gives you ample opportunity to teach musicianship and new rhythms to your group.

Into The Dragon's Keep - S. Smith

Here's an engaging and imaginative work for developing musicians that has the added benefit of providing great teaching opportunities! "Into The Dragon's Keep" opens and closes with a haunting flute/optional piccolo solo that will leave your students feeling like they just stepped into a story. Utilizing an open drone in the low brass throughout, giving it a very medieval and Celtic sound, your students will be engaged as they learn about playing in contrasting meters of 3/4 and 6/8, and in Dorian mode. Highly recommended!
