A Revolutionary Method for Early-Intermediate Musicians
Sound Innovations for Concert Band, Book 2 continues your students’ musical journey by presenting independent concepts as well as ensemble playing. Isolating concepts and teaching them individually helps facilitate understanding of the more advanced material. Continuing the unique Sound Innovations structure, the book contains four levels, each of which is divided into several sections that introduce concepts separately and provide plenty of practice and performance opportunities to reinforce each lesson.
DVDGuided by co-authors Robert Sheldon, Peter Boonshaft, and Dave Black, the DVD included with each student book features individual instrument and ensemble-specific lessons demonstrated by an instrument-family-specific ensemble. These master classes are presented by professional musicians and serve as private lessons that teach students the fundamentals of ensemble playing.
CDThe MP3 CD demonstrates every line of music in the book, with a different instrument performing the melody for each line. The tuning notes and solo performance piece are instrument-specific. Students will learn blending and balancing as they play along with other instruments in the band. A play-along accompaniment track allows for additional practice, along with the SI Player with Tempo Change Technology.

I just transitioned to Sound Innovations this year. The difference between my new 4th grade students and the learning that last year’s new students did is night and day. This year’s kids are advancing so much more quickly.

ENSEMBLE DEVELOPMENTChorales and Warm-up Exercises for Tone, Technique, and Rhythm
INTERMEDIATE CONCERT BANDSound Innovations: Ensemble Development for Intermediate Concert Band is a valuable resource for helping your students grow in their understanding and abilities as ensemble musicians. It contains 412 exercises, including nearly 70 chorales by some of today’s most renowned concert band composers. Exercises are grouped by key and presented in a variety of intermediate difficulty levels. Where possible, several exercises in the same category are provided to allow variety, while accomplishing the goals of that specific type of exercise. Many exercises and chorales are clearly marked with dynamics, articulations, style, and tempo. Other exercises are intentionally left flexible for the teacher to determine how best to use them in facilitating the goals and addressing the needs of their ensemble. Whether your students are progressing through exercises to better their technical facility, or challenging their musicianship with beautiful chorales, this book can be used after any band method or as a supplement to performance music.

““
Sound Innovations Ensemble Development is the most diverse, practical, and comprehensive collection of the best band techniques used around the world. Nothing, absolutely nothing was left out of this book when it comes to developing an ensemble. Try to find a concept that is missing. Well, you can’t—they are all there! For me, Sound Innovations is the Swiss army knife of ensemble development. I love it!

SI for CONCERT BAND ENSEMBLE DEVELOPMENT INTERMEDIATE FEATURES
Passing the Tonic These exercises help students concentrate on improving their individual characteristic tone and tuning skills as they work to achieve ensemble balance, blend, and intonation. Each line is designed to help students become accustomed to the tonality of the key, develop a cohesive ensemble sound, and work toward stabilizing the pitch as they move the tonic note through various sections of the band.

BALANCE AND INTONATION: LAYERED TUNING164
Balance and Intonation: Layered TuningIn these exercises, intervals and triads are built by gradually adding one member of an interval or triad at a time, allowing students to focus on tuning vertical sonorities in a variety of contexts. With a similar focus, students will also gradually subtract members of vertical sonorities, one member at a time.
PercussionPercussion parts are provided for battery instruments, accessory, mallets, and timpani, offering the percussion section an opportunity to perform as members of the ensemble with parts integrated into every exercise in the book.

BALANCE AND INTONATION: PERFECT INTERVALS24
Balance and Intonation: Perfect Intervals In these exercises, the ensemble begins by playing in unison, before some of the players move to create a perfect fifth, then return to the starting unison pitch. Following this pattern, students can focus on tuning the perfect intervals of a unison, fourth, fifth, and octave.

ETUDE
ArticulationThese exercises allow students to practice performing, controlling, changing, and contrasting a variety of articulations in many contexts.
DynamicsStudents will further develop their abilities to perform and control dynamic levels while practicing sudden changes, gradual changes, extreme contrasts, and nuances of volume.
EtudeThese short studies reinforce various aspects of individual and ensemble performance while providing the challenge of combining those concepts in a variety of ways.
Scale ChoraleThese chorales are harmonized scales in specified keys. Each student’s part has two lines: the top line (A), the scale, and the bottom line (B), their part in the chorale. Directors can choose a single student, a section, a family, or any other combination of instrumentalists to play the scale, while the rest of the ensemble plays the chorale setting.

BALANCE AND INTONATION: SHIFTING CHORD QUALITIES195 Balance and Intonation: Shifting Chord QualitiesThese exercises begin with the ensemble playing a major triad, and then move to a minor triad and a diminished triad. Cycling through these chord qualities will help foster horizontal and vertical tuning, as well as balance, blend, and pitch internalization.

ADVANCED CONCERT BAND
““
Sound Innovations combines technical development and musical growth for ALL sections; I love that my brass, woodwind, and percussion sections can develop appropriate skills for their respective discipline, while also addressing ensemble development. It is expertly laid out and constructed to address essential skills for developing through advanced players and ensembles. I highly recommend its use for bands of all ability levels!

LONG TONES
LONG TONES
Passing the TonicThese exercises help students concentrate on improving their individual characteristic tone and tuning skills as they work to achieve ensemble balance, blend, and intonation. Each line is designed to help students become accustomed to the tonality of the key, develop a cohesive ensemble sound, and work toward stabilizing the pitch as they move the tonic note through various sections of the band.
Scale ChoralesThese chorales are harmonized scales of specified keys. Each student’s part has two lines: the top line (A), the scale, and the bottom line (B), their part in the chorale. Directors can choose a single student, a section, a family, or any other combination of instrumentalists to play the scale, while the rest of the ensemble plays the chorale setting.
ChoralesA variety of chorales written by some of the finest composers of music for concert band provides opportunities for students to develop the essential skills of tone production, blend, balance, intonation, phrasing, dynamics, articulation, style, and musical expression.
Long TonesThrough the use of long tones, interspersed with humming and/or singing, students can focus on improving air capacity, breath support, resistance, and tone quality, as well as the essential ability to internalize pitch.
Scale PatternThese exercises are designed to develop dexterity, facility, confidence, and familiarity with the scale of each key by using a number of different patterns, each containing a variety of rhythms, meters, and articulations.

CONCERT B b CHROMATIC SCALE
Balance and Intonation: Diatonic Harmony By having students move between perfect intervals and diatonic triads, these exercises will foster the skills of vertical and horizontal tuning, balance, blend, and internalizing pitch, as well as a better understanding of common cadences and harmonic progressions.
Balance and Intonation: Layered TuningIn these exercises, intervals and triads are built by gradually adding one member of an interval or triad at a time, allowing students to focus on tuning vertical sonorities in a variety of contexts. With a similar focus, students will also gradually subtract members of vertical sonorities, one member at a time.
Chromatic Scale PatternThese exercises are designed to develop dexterity, facility, confidence, and familiarity with the chromatic scale by using a number of different patterns, each containing a variety of rhythms, meters, and articulations.
Chromatic ScaleA chromatic scale, starting on the tonic of the specified key, will help students develop technical proficiency and facility.

BALANCE AND INTONATION: SHIFTING CHORD QUALITIES
BALANCE AND INTONATION: SHIFTING CHORD QUALITIES
Balance and Intonation: Perfect IntervalsIn these exercises, the ensemble begins by playing in unison before some of the players move to create a perfect fifth, and then return to the starting unison pitch. Following this pattern, students can focus on tuning the perfect intervals of a unison, fourth, fifth, and octave.
Balance and Intonation: Family BalanceFamily Balance exercises are designed to focus on various aspects of ensemble, family, and section balance, as well as intonation, pitch tendencies, listening, and blending.
Balance and Intonation: Shifting Chord QualitiesThese exercises begin with the ensemble playing a major triad, then moving to a minor triad and a diminished triad. Cycling through these chord qualities will help foster horizontal and vertical tuning, as well as balance, blend, and pitch internalization.
Balance and Intonation: Moving Chord TonesThese exercises begin with each part playing one of the three notes of a triad. Subsequent measures have each part cycle through the other two notes of that triad, before arriving back to the original pitch.

Expanding IntervalsThese exercises are presented with the expanding intervals moving downward and upward, as well as in parallel octaves, fifths, and thirds, to develop the skills of tuning horizontally and vertically while attending to balance, blend, and intonation.
Rhythmic SubdivisionThese exercises are designed to help students understand and internalize rhythmic subdivision. While one part of the ensemble performs music containing common rhythmic patterns, the other part of the ensemble performs the supporting subdivision.
RhythmThese exercises focus on various aspects of rhythm and meter, providing material that will allow students to review and challenge their skills. They also provide excellent practice in sight-reading.
Changing MeterStudents can practice changing from meter to meter with hints to help them count correctly.
Chromatic FlexibilityFlexibility exercises are intended to help students reinforce good embouchure habits and muscle development, as well as breath support, intensity of airstream, and intonation.
ArpeggiosVarious patterns of arpeggios are included to help students develop technical proficiency, as well as explore melodic and harmonic aspects in each key.
IntervalsA variety of interval studies are presented to aid students in developing their technique, intonation, and tone quality, as well as their ability to internalize pitch.
