The Philosophy Behind Superior Bands in Sixteen Weeks
Superior Bands in Sixteen Weeks follows a systematic format that covers Tone, Intonation, Balance, and Technique over a sixteen-week period.

Often, directors begin the school year immediately focusing on music for their fall concerts. This concept of drilling music may make for a successful concert, but leaves students with much to learn about the fundamentals of music making.

Superior Bands in Sixteen Weeks focuses on the balance of music and technique throughout the school year. During the first few months of school, directors should analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the ensemble and focus on improving the weaknesses. For example, if the ensemble has problems with pitch and intonation, Superior Bands can be used to strengthen these issues. By using this all-inclusive approach, directors will spend more time working on fundamental issues at the beginning of the year, leaving the remainder of the year open for great music making.
