SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
Outstanding educational resources by Quincy C. Hilliard
SUPERIOR BANDS
IN SIXTEEN WEEKS
A Systematic Approach to Developing Superior
TONE, INTONATION, BALANCE, & TECHNIQUE
Often directors begin the school year by
immediately focusing on music for their fall
concerts. Consequently, fundamentals are
sometimes set aside. Superior Bands in
Sixteen Weeks focuses on balancing music
and technique throughout the school year.
During the first few months of school,
when directors evaluate the strengths and
weaknesses of their ensembles, this text
becomes a key component in improving
any weaknesses. By using this all-inclusive
6
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.
A sound musical foundation always leads
to a tremendous performance.

Organized Instruction for Advancing Skills in
TONE PRODUCTION,BLEND, BALANCE,
& TECHNICAL PRECISION
Chorales and Rhythm Etudes for Superior Bands
follows the same sixteen-week instruction calendar
found in Superior Bands in Sixteen Weeks,
making it a great companion resource for directors
who have already discovered the value of Quincy C.
Hilliard’s teaching concepts. It is designed to develop
skills in musicianship that focus on tone production,
balance, blend, and technical precision. The book 7
can be effective in small or large ensemble settings,
BB206 9.95

SCALES AND TUNING
EXERCISES FOR
SUPERIOR BANDS
A Systematic Approach to Improving
SCALES, INTONATION, & BALANCE
The newest addition to the bestselling Superior
Bands series, Scales and Tuning Exercises for
Superior Bands is a great resource for bands
looking to improve intonation and balance
through scale studies, chorales and harmonized
exercises. This book can be used as a daily
warm-up for intermediate or advanced ensembles.
In contrast to other scale books, this book actually
teaches all scales as opposed to just presenting
them. Students will understand why a scale
sounds as it does and where it fits into BB209 7.95
music-making. Special tips for playing chorales
and harmonized studies are also included.
A phenomenal resource!
