Thank you for your interest in Building Blocks for Beginning Band. This book focuses on technical exercises and warm-ups for beginning to intermediate players.

Throughout my years of teaching beginning level instrumentalists, I have seen a great need for technique, rhythmic and scale-based exercises geared for young students. Although there are band method books available that introduce beginning fingerings, etudes and melodies, there are often very few daily warm-ups and technique studies for this level. Building Blocks for Beginning Band is specifically designed to address these needs for young band students.

Building Blocks for Beginning Band includes four main sections: Beginning Scale Starters, Scale Focus, Advanced Warm-Ups and Concepts and Rhythm Concepts. It is set up in the four most common major concert keys that young students will encounter: Concert B flat, E flat, A flat, and F major. It also incorporates the correlating concert minor keys G, C, F, and D and the chromatic scale. Daily use of this book will help build a student’s tone production, technical dexterity, music reading fluency and countless other performance fundamentals.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share this book with you. Building Blocks for Beginning Band is available for purchase through J.W.Pepper, Inc.  Please visit their website, www.jwpepper.com or call 800-345-6296 to order. I am confident that you will see great results with your ensembles and I welcome your feedback. I wish you and your students much success with Building Blocks for Beginning Band and all of your musical endeavors. 

Sincerely,
Robert Wilson
