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.

This invaluable collection features rhythm drills and etudes and applies them to six full band arrangements. Some of the unique features include: an emphasis on musical passages containing a wide variety of rests, prep rhythm drills with suggestions for their use, etudes that can be played as a solo, or, when used with a companion etude, as a duet; an emphasis on changing eighth-note rhythms (5/8, 7/8 etc.) and a full band selection at the end of each unit reinforcing the newly learned rhythms and patterns.
