Daily Drill

A collection of fundamental exercises for full band with wild yet groovy play-along tracks. Replace the click-click-click of a metronome with actual music composed in styles ranging from funk to mambo to dub step and beyond! Designed to supplement traditional band methods in the classroom, during sectional rehearsals, or for private instruction, this collection provides a fun alternative to running wind drills the boring, old-fashioned way.

• Eight diatonic exercises in all twelve keys to cover important scale and arpeggio fundamentals
• Chromatic exercises in B-flat and F
• Downloadable play-along tracks to all exercises in a fun variety of styles and tempos (tracks with and without the melody included)
• Fingering charts for wind instruments
• Scale appendices 
• Downloadable PDF charts for tracking progress through the exercises for both teachers and students

No more bored percussionists during wind drills! Comprehensive percussion parts engage students much more than other band methods. Every exercise includes these percussion parts:

• Two- and four-mallet keyboard parts with intuitive technique graphics to aid in four-mallet development
• Three parts for practice pad – levels 1, 2, and 3
• Seven accessory percussion parts: suspended cymbal, bass drum, crash cymbals, triangle, tambourine, castanets, and woodblock or cowbell

Whether the next performance is in two months or two hours, music fundamentals are key ingredients for achieving confidence in performance. Mastering these fundamentals has never been more fun!
