4 reace: Music is an art orm hich needs to include exression and artistic communication rom the erormers Many band ensembles erorm notes and rhythms ith accuracy and detail The choice o grou s reertoire should allo or technical roiciency to be develoed and dislayed erorming ith accuracy unity and technique are only art o the erormance Not every grou at every grade level is caable o being equally exressive but one thing that can be assured is that students ho are never asked to develo their ability to communicate exression style and emotion ill not develo the ability to communicate ith style exression and emotion! The arm u exercises contained hereater rovide musical obectives at the most basic level in a variety o keys so that bands can achieve a oundation o quality technical skills hile listening to their tone tuning unity o style timing and many other actors that are essential to musical erormance I do not claim to have invented these arm us They are comiled rom the many exeriences I have had so ar in my career as a erormer and a teacher Many exercises are intentionally designed to be easy to erorm so that students can be exected to ay attention to the artistic/exressive elements o laying their instruments and even roviding emotional and aesthetically leasing exeriences or their audiences Even i the arm us are layed by an elementary school band this ill allo them to stretch their minds and their skills to be exressive We can onder hether young children can or cannot lay ith emotion because they have to exerience more o lie s good and bad exeriences We can also say the adults have a greater ability to exress themselves (and their emotions) through the musical art due to their advanced technical skills that do not get in the ay o exression Our students ill be better able to make their music an art i e teach them to use some exressive tools to do so Ask even your youngest erormers to make a iece o music sound hay or sad and use these exercises as a steing stone to that end Get beyond the basics o these easy notes and rhythms and make real music! To the teacher ho says I can t aord to arm u the band I rely YO CAN T AORD NOT TO WARM YOR BAND! We are not ust conductors directors managers and the business oice among other roles We are their teachers and e need to teach them more than the notes and rhythms or the ieces o music they ill erorm or our concerts I chose not to deine ho to instruct the band students to tune suort breathing ho to tongue or release notes etc I chose not to instruct ho to count (or say) rhythms or to detail stickings or ercussionists Oinions dier on many technical asects o uniying the band s sound and technique The uniied aroach ith hich the musicians reorm is or the conductor to decide but using these examles ill allo that these concets to be addressed A realization occurred to insire this collection: I love the marching music activity I as at a marching band chamionshi cometition and I observed several bands arming u outside the erormance venue Even at the end o the marching season students ere still striving to achieve a uniied aroach to their laying (as they should be) to be alied to a 7 and a hal minute erormance I asked mysel i this arm u aroach is imortant enough or the marching genre shouldn t it be even more imortant to the iv

5 concert band setting here e send the entire year and erorm much longer concerts? And hy are e aiting until the students are in high school to teach hat are erhas the most essential asects o musicianshi? Teachers o young bands can be incredibly helul to the rograms they eed by getting the students started on these asects o musicianshi at a younger age Keeing things in ersective there are many band rograms or advancing students ho can still beneit rom laying through this rainbo o arm us to ind the ealth o beneits that is orth as much as a ot o gold v

6 About the Warm s: Bands o Color These arm us are organized in order o the colors in the rainbo to gradually lead students to a logical develoment o understanding o musical obectives hile erorming as art o an ensemble Exercises that exist in a certain key ith certain concets ill exist in other keys ith the corresonding color Thereore students hose develoment is limited only to the concets o the White through Blue bands o color ill be able to lay those exercises in all o the various keys re-rainbo Colors (occurring only rior to the / meter exercises) vi White- Breathing exercises or bloing air and sizzling 1 st and 5 th scale degrees o the key Lines- Quarter and eighth notes ink- More air and sizzle exercises adding 2 nd 3 rd and th scale degrees s Lines- Adding some long rolls to match the inds sustains (meters vary) Rainbo Colors Red- 1 st through 5 th scale degrees various articulations Lines- Aligning rhythms ith the tonal exercises long rolls Orange- 1 st through 5 th scale degrees contrary motion and harmony in 3rds maor chorale Lines- No rolls some exercises have 2 rhythm arts Yello- Adding the 6 th scale degree to the to o the scale sequences Lines- Several sequences to align ith inds lam tas Green- Adding the 7 th scale degree-bottom o the scale sequences ull chords Lines- More requent lam tas and long rolls Blue- Adding the 6 th scale degree-bottom or ull natural minor scale minor chorale Lines-sixteenth notes in grous o and 9 stroke rolls Indigo- Adding the 7 th scale degree to the to o the scale technique in the minor scale Lines- More mixing o quarter eighth and sixteenth notes urle- Adding the 8 th scale degree arallel ith the minor li slur and scale attern study Lines- Adds use o the eighth rest ost-rainbo Colors Bron- Adding the 9 th scale degree dorian tonality Lines- Dotted quarter note aired ith an eighth note adding rus Gray- Interval ums and the mixolydian (Lo in the Bb series) subdividing Lines- Eighth-Quarter-Eighth syncoated rhythm Black- Chromatic alterations long sustains li slurs Lines- Mixing 2 sixteenth notes ith an eighth note in 1 beat Meters ith our (or to) beats in a measure and three beats in a measure are indicated by the number at the end o the age title along ith the key (such as Bb Gm or modal and altered by bnat (lat/shar/natural) Keys beyond the most basic ill be enhanced ith meters hich are likeise more varied

7 About the arts and lines: There is no conductor score or these arm us The exercises are simle enough to understand and each o the 7 transosed instrumentalists books are able to be layed in unison ercussionists should be given a lute/oboe/bells book and lay the rhythms on drums melodic lines on mallet ercussion or the rhythm lines ercussionists may be given seciic instructions or stickings In some instances ind layer should lay the rhythm lines as enrichment exercises hile laying the itches ritten above them Or ust use them as claing and counting exercises There are at least 1 sometimes 2 or 3 and occasionally arts lines or the students ith melodic instruments to erorm When there is more than one line o notes they are oten able to be layed in harmony and the urose is to imrove listening skills or tone and tuning Encourage students to lay each art o the harmonized exercises so they learn to hear ho they need to ork to erorm inner and outer harmonies in the various keys When there might be a situation in hich the range o notes exceeds that hich is normally layable or the instrument otional notes are ritten in and labeled as otional They are ritten ith SATB consideration so higher instruments ould lay art 1 and loer instruments lay art in an ensemble situation Students should lay ithin their range and they should alays rioritize roduction o a characteristic tone quality intonation and balance/blend ith the rest o the musicians Dynamics are ritten on the ages but may be altered at the director s discretion to balance and blend the band ercussion arts are oten (but not alays) ritten on dynamic level less than those o the ind layers Breathing Long Tone and/or Scale Exercises: Most ages begin ith such an exercise In addition to including all o the notes required or the associated age Watching the conductor is required hen erorming music nearly all o the time This must be rehearsed ith the students and it required in these exercises esecially here ermatas and caesuras exist The conductor is encouraged to hel sho hen to release (or breathe) hile conducting Resonsible breathing and counting is exected o the erormers Breath marks and note-end (release) inormation such as or - etc encourage erormers to count internally hile laying long tones and release the tone together erormers ill learn that the start and end o each note/hrase are o equal imortance sing breath suort to give sustained notes some direction is encouraged oten ith a crescendo Maturing ensembles may be able to learn to begin laying and ending together ithout a having a conductor in ront o them Whether it is through the develoment o internal ulse control or olloing a concertmaster the conductor may be able to ste aside and allo the band to lead themselves ith training Involving student conductors to lead the ensemble may rove to be a meaningul exerience or the leading student and or the ensemble The use o a metronome may be beneicial hen reading exercises ithout ermatas ractice these at various temi to allo the musicians to aly their skills to diering situations Ask the students to communicate dierent moods and styles hen aroriate vii

8 Tune the Scale Exercises: The comoser/author s belie that tuning is as much a matter as air suort roer embouchure and listening skill than it is about the lacement o the tuning slide or mouthiece/oint drives the concet or these exercises Listening resonsibly to ones sel and the other erormers is essential to ensemble musicianshi Several ages include this tye o exercise hich engages intervallic tuning to build uon the concet o tuning unison sounds melodic intervals in addition to the harmonic intervals Director s Choice Exercises: Exressive communication o mood and style in the musical art come rom more than ust dynamic contrasts sing dierent styles o articulations contribute to the exressive elements These short studies are usually sequences hich could be layed multile times or ust coordinated ith articulations in the reertoire being erormed by the band They are esecially helul hen teaching to ensure that younger students on ind instruments use their tongue to start the notes Mix it u and allo the students to choose sometimes too Chords Chorales Etudes Li Slur and additional /Technical Studies: A meaningul alication o the obectives resented on the age are included in these studies Intentionally ket short students ill be able to ocus or a short eriod o time as they erorm The director and the students should emloy their critical listening skills to be sure tone quality intonation breathing in hrases uniied articulations and dynamics are erormed beyond the mere erormance o accurate notes and rhythms Absence o error is not enough to reach excellence Music is an art so be exressive and artistic! Additional thoughts: The exercises contained in this comilation may be erormed in manners other than simly laying them in their instruments Consider using them in some o the olloing manners: Breathing air ithout the instruments (beyond the White and ink ages) Breathing air through the instruments ithout roducing tone Moving keys/valves/sticks hile saying rhythm syllables or note names All o the above hile sizzling air (hissing) Singing note names on a neutral syllable rhythm syllables or solege syllables Woodinds and ercussion laying hile exercises hile brass layers buzz Wind layers claing or laying the rhythm exercises on a drum/drum ad hile all ercussionists lay itched instruments viii
