With Foundations for Superior Performance Trumpet from Neil A. Kjos Music Company, band directors and students can work together to strengthen skills and achieve higher quality sound. This daily method book provides warm-ups, exercises and tunings in all 12 keys to advance concert bands from year two through high school. Composed by respected music educators Jeff King and Richard Williams, the flexible program helps directors challenge students at their current level while preparing them to reach the next. In just five to 45 minutes a day, bands can expand range, improve listening, develop theory knowledge and gain greater flexibility, agility and endurance.

Warm Up and Tune Up


Begin each practice with warm-ups for tone production, articulation styles and endurance. Brass players focus on lip slurs while woodwinds do progressive exercises. Then move into interval tunings, chord tunings and chorales in the eight main concert band keys to prepare the group to play in unison.

Build Skills in All 12 Keys


Major and minor scales, mini-scales, scale patterns, scales in thirds, interval studies, triad and chord studies provide a strong foundation in every key. One-octave and full-range scales, chromatic scales, major arpeggios and inversions, and advanced fingering charts challenge students to expand their range and technical abilities.

Strengthen Percussion Section


A dedicated percussion book offers practical exercises for mallets, snare drum, auxiliary percussion and timpani to improve the percussion section. Students develop skills and learn to complement the band.

Achieve Superior Results


With regular use of Foundations for Superior Performance Trumpet, bands can achieve noticeable improvements in sound quality, articulation, flexibility, agility, endurance and range. Individual and ensemble listening skills will also strengthen, and students will gain a basic understanding of music theory to support their technical progress.
