I need some help; I need method books for my concert band.   Any suggestions?

How do you shape a Bassoon Reed?
What kind of kit do I need buy?

The method book you would use would depend on the level your students and what your goals are for them.  For example," Exercises for Ensemble Drill" by Fussell emphasizes scales and technical development in one section and reinforces rhythm recognition in another.  I use these books with my younger group because they need to develop those skills.  I also use the Tone and Technique through Chorales and Etudes by Ployar and Zepp.  These books is something I use as a part of their daily routine in order to demonstrate to them their need to develop thier technnique and the importance of understanding scales and key signatures.

Remember that these books are tools you use to create better musicans in your playing ensemble.

Thanks I will check them out.
