Par HANNICKEL MIKE. This addition to the Curnow Music Press GREAT FOUNDATIONS SERIES of pre-Grade 1 publications is accessible to young musicians who have been playing for just a few weeks. A simple, repetitive theme with flashy, but very easy percussion writing ensures that you can have THE CHARIOTEERS ready to perform in time for the concert, even if you have “precious little” rehearsal time. The powerful nature of the piece is certain to appeal to young players / Niveau : 0.5 / Répertoire / Educatif

Par CURNOW JAMES. An important part of our Essentials of Musicianship Series, Scale Studies for Band is designed to be used as an instructional aid during your normal daily practice. Written so that the scale studies can be interlaced at appropriate times into your rehearsal, they enable you to address the scale and key considerations of your next piece just before starting that piece. For instance, if the next arrangement you will rehearse has a section in the key of G Major, you can take a moment and review the study in that key (Study Number 7). It’s amazing how many wrong notes can be avoided by reviewing the key signature in an interesting and exciting manner, before diving into theperformance piece rehearsal. In the long run, this “key signature review” approach can actually save more rehearsal time than it uses. In addition to the full band aspect of Scale Studies, you may find value in quickly and easily administered “playing tests” using these materials. However you choose to use them, the Scale Studies from the Curnow Music Press Essentials of Musicianship Series will be valuable indeed! / Niveau : 2 / Etude / Educatif

Par CURNOW JAMES. An important addition to the ground-breaking Essentials of Musicianship Series from Curnow Music Press! You have probably found that if you rely entirely on your method book and performance pieces for teaching and reinforcement, many aspects of musicianship do not receive the focus that they should have. Method books have notoriously little reinforcement material because they try to cover so much with so little book space. The Essentials Series allows you to select the areas that your band needs work on and provides a great deal of reinforcement for those critical skills. If you are not yet familiar with this series, you have just discovered a tremendousteaching resource! Look at a score for Sight-Reading Builders and notice the comprehensive instructions for most effective use. Teach your band to read style and well as notes and rhythms! A wonderful resource! / Niveau : 3 / Etude / Educatif

Par DE HAAN JAN. The series Band Time is based on the successful method Look, Listen & Learn. Composer and publisher Jan de Haan has developed the series especially with the intention of introducing children to playing together in a wind band at an early stage. Band Time Starter makes this possible after just a few lessons! Band Time is a collection of fourteen original three and four-part pieces which can be played in practically every small or large wind band strength - with a minimum of three players. The difficulty of the pieces increases in parallel with the material covered in the Look, Listen & Learn method, but the use of this method is not required to be able to play from Band TimeStarter. The score explains how the series can be optimally used, and how the instrumentation that you have works best. / Niveau : Très Facile à Facile / Date parution : 1905-06-23/ Méthode / Educatif
