The Band Fundamentals Scale Book is a major asset in any school band program. It covers twelve major scales, first in the most accessible octave for each instrument, then the second octave. Scales in two octaves follow. Chromatic scales are presented in five note exercises ascending and then the same five notes descending. The percussion book covers the N.A.R.D. 26 Standard rudiments with exhaustive sticking plus mallet scales.

All material is presented in a way that helps build student confidence, skill, and knowledge. The simple approach is effective and students like it because they know they can do it.
