First Concepts Warm-ups - Larry Norred

This is one or the most interesting, useful teaching aids ever developed for beginning bands. It's full of chorales, exercises and rounds, all designed to reinforce concepts you are trying to teach in day to day work. The percussion section gets special emphasis, with parts that will keep the players' attention without being too difficult. The PENTATONIC TECHMIQUE BUILDER section can be used in many ways. Since it is all pentatonic, you can even craft your own approaches using any Orff-style techniques you may prefer.

You'll find this a real winner for first-year students. Only the second clarinets and second trumpets play more than the first five notes and they only extend one note to written B natural.
