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!

n concert band the clarity of the music can only come through if the articulation skill of the performers is accurate and presented consistently across the band. These wonderful articulation studies are short and work perfectly as a warm-up at the beginning of rehearsal or before any piece when you need to focus your band's attention to this important aspect of musicianship!
