A collection of technical studies designed for use with either full band or individual practice. The method is divided into eight units, each focusing on a major key and its relative minor key and includes such studies as chorales, scale studies, arpeggio studies, interval studies, rhythm rounds, articulation studies, speed drills and etudes to help reinforce new concepts. An excellent way to prepare students for advanced grade 3 and most grade 4 material.

Duets for All enables any two instruments to play duets. Not only may two like-instruments such as two flutes play together, but two dissimilar instruments such as violin and tuba may perform all of the duets. The duets cover a wide range of styles and music from baroque through contemporary eras, and they range in difficulty from grades 1 through 4. Titles: * March (Prokofiev) * Allegro (Mozart) * Dance (Kabalevsky) * Andante and Allegro (Stoutamire) * Leaping (Kabalevsky) * Ecossaise (Beethoven) * A Farewell (Purcell) * Song of the North (Grieg) * March of the Tin Soldiers (Tschaikowsky) * Allegretto (Corelli) * The Mechanical Doll (Shostakovich) * The Adventures of Ivan (Khatchaturian) * Bouree (Handel) * Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (Liszt) * Ballet of the Chicks (Moussorgsky)

These 40 Rhythmical Studies in unison for band are based entirely on division of measure, with easy key signatures. They are filled with practical rhythms, in a style that makes division of measure interesting.
