Daily Routine for Band

[bobn]

Hi everyone (teachers in particular),

This may be useful for some of your younger students during these times of isolation.

I've just completed a new and improved full band version (formerly just for brass) of my one page Daily Routine. My goal is to encourage students to work on easy, efficient playing. It's good for younger players but I think helpful for older players to reinforce their best basic playing habits every day.

These can be downloaded at:

There are also play along audio tracks down below.

Here is a description:

Daily Routine for Band

This one page practice routine is for band students to concentrate on basics and to encourage excellent technique. Play from the beginning very slowly. Once you are able to play the entire page expand your range by playing other scales and vary the rhythms to make it more challenging. Note: always start at the top and concentrate on perfect execution to build a solid foundation.

They can be played alone, with a partner, a larger group or full band.

There are two different horn parts included: one to work on alone and the other to fit in with full band. When using the full band version choose whichever octave works for you. Eventually you will be able to play both. Help yourself and share with students as you wish.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Bob! I'll play it myself and pass it along to band directors I know.
