Scale Preps for Beginning Band

The only problem with having beginning-level bands play their scales is that all the sections can't yet play a scale! This sensible warm-up collection lets students begin developing listening and technique skills through scale performance by using the portions of the scales they can play. Scales and intervals in the keys of B-flat, E-flat, and F are introduced, all without the clarinets having to cross the break or the trumpets having to ascend an octave. This makes lots of sense for young musicians!
