Tone/Technique Books

Nova Music International's Winds Technique Books are performed by Middle School, High School, and Collegiate ensembles all over the world. These comprehensive tone and technique books cover the entire scope and sequence of building superior tone quality, improving intonation, perception of pitch, and developing advanced aural skills. The articulation, scale, chromatic, and sequential exercises help your ensembles build advanced technique and dexterity. The books conclude with chorales and a full set of major and minor scales (natural, harmonic, and melodic). Purchases include a detailed instructional guide and unlimited photocopy permission for the life of the school. Purchases are specific for each school. Most schools purchase Book 1 for their older Middle Schools ensembles and Book 2 for High School ensembles. Although, Book 1 is also used by some younger High School groups. All collegiate ensembles have used Book 2. Although, younger developing collegiate ensembles could benefit from either book.
