Composed by Brian Harris. Method,Etudes and Exercises,Classroom,General Instructional. Score. 62 pages. Published by Bandroom.com Publications (S0.46605).Directional Warm-Ups for Band is a complete teaching system and method for elevating your ensemble’s performance. It is effective for use by mid-level and developing high school bands or advanced middle school groups. Higher-level ensembles will benefit from use of the material for review or at the first of the concert season to reinforce concepts of ensemble playing, tone, intonation, etc.
Directional Warm-Ups for Band addresses playing skills in three dimensions/directions: Horizontal, Vertical, and Depth.
Horizontal skills include phrasing, melodic nuance, and interpretation. These are developed through melodious unison etudes.
Vertical skills, such as ensemble attacks/releases, balance, blend, and intonation are developed through simple chorales that allow the player to clearly hear problems - not only their own, but across the entire ensemble.
Depth of playing skill for the individual is accomplished through the use of varying scales, key signatures, rhythms, meters, and terminology.
FEATURES: The method contains 16 Learning Units, each in a different key, and 20 simple Chorales. Each Learning Unit contains a unison scale with melodic etudes and correlates to a Chorale in the same key. Minor scales include natural, harmonic, and melodic forms. Also included are 32 Rhythm Patterns, a Piano Keyboard diagram (for teaching step patterns of scales), and a Glossary of musical terms used in the book. The Conductor Score includes several pages of instructions for using the method book along with suggestions for implementing a varied warm-up in order to achieve maximum learning.

HISTORY: Originally released by Warner Bros./Belwin-Mills in 1996, it was removed from print in 2005 when Warner Bros. Music was sold to Alfred Publishing. I was able to negotiate the return of full rights to the series in 2009. Consequently, I have painstakingly corrected every known error (missing crescendo, wrong note, etc.) in every book of the series. I also added a diagram of a piano keyboard to all books to aid in instruction (scale patterns, etc.)
