4 reace: Music is an art orm hich needs to include exression and artistic communication rom the erormers Many and ensemles erorm notes and rhythms ith accuracy and detail The choice o grou s reertoire should allo or technical roiciency to e develoed and dislayed erorming ith accuracy unity and technique are only art o the erormance Not every grou at every grade level is caale o eing equally exressive ut one thing that can e assured is that students ho are never asked to develo their aility to communicate exression style and emotion ill not develo the aility to communicate ith style exression and emotion! The arm u exercises contained hereater rovide musical oectives at the most asic level in a variety o keys so that ands 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 e easy to erorm so that students can e 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 y an elementary school and this ill allo them to stretch their minds and their skills to e exressive We can onder hether young children can or cannot lay ith emotion ecause they have to exerience more o lie s good and ad exeriences We can also say the adults have a greater aility 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 e etter ale 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 eyond the asics o these easy notes and rhythms and make real music! To the teacher ho says I can t aord to arm u the and I rely YO CAN T AORD NOT TO WARM YOR BAND! We are not ust conductors directors managers and the usiness 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 and students to tune suort reathing 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 and s sound and technique The uniied aroach ith hich the musicians reorm is or the conductor to decide ut using these examles ill allo that these concets to e addressed A realization occurred to insire this collection: I love the marching music activity I as at a marching and chamionshi cometition and I oserved several ands 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 e) to e 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 e even more imortant to the iv

5 concert and 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 ands can e incredily helul to the rograms they eed y getting the students started on these asects o musicianshi at a younger age Keeing things in ersective there are many and rograms or advancing students ho can still eneit rom laying through this raino o arm us to ind the ealth o eneits that is orth as much as a ot o gold v

7 Aout 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 ooks are ale to e layed in unison ercussionists should e given a lute/ooe/bells ook and lay the rhythms on drums melodic lines on mallet ercussion or the rhythm lines ercussionists may e given seciic instructions or stickings In some instances ind layer should lay the rhythm lines as enrichment exercises hile laying the itches ritten aove 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 ale to e 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 e a situation in hich the range o notes exceeds that hich is normally layale or the instrument otional notes are ritten in and laeled as otional They are ritten ith SATB consideration so higher instruments ould lay art 1 and loer instruments lay art in an ensemle situation Students should lay ithin their range and they should alays rioritize roduction o a characteristic tone quality intonation and alance/lend ith the rest o the musicians Dynamics are ritten on the ages ut may e altered at the director s discretion to alance and lend the and ercussion arts are oten (ut not alays) ritten on dynamic level less than those o the ind layers Breathing Long Tone and/or Scale Exercises: Most ages egin 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 e 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 reathe) hile conducting Resonsile reathing 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 reath suort to give sustained notes some direction is encouraged oten ith a crescendo Maturing ensemles may e ale to learn to egin 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 e ale to ste aside and allo the and to lead themselves ith training Involving student conductors to lead the ensemle may rove to e a meaningul exerience or the leading student and or the ensemle The use o a metronome may e eneicial 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 elie that tuning is as much a matter as air suort roer emouchure and listening skill than it is aout the lacement o the tuning slide or mouthiece/oint drives the concet or these exercises Listening resonsily to ones sel and the other erormers is essential to ensemle musicianshi Several ages include this tye o exercise hich engages intervallic tuning to uild 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 contriute to the exressive elements These short studies are usually sequences hich could e layed multile times or ust coordinated ith articulations in the reertoire eing erormed y the and 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 oectives resented on the age are included in these studies Intentionally ket short students ill e ale to ocus or a short eriod o time as they erorm The director and the students should emloy their critical listening skills to e sure tone quality intonation reathing in hrases uniied articulations and dynamics are erormed eyond the mere erormance o accurate notes and rhythms Asence o error is not enough to reach excellence Music is an art so e exressive and artistic!
