I earned my master's degree in music education from Brigham Young University and learned quite a bit.  One of the best things, for me, was the development of a comprehensive process for teaching students to play well in every key.

An overview of the whole process can be found in the Music Literacy section of this web site as a downloadable PDF file.  Have a look and use it if it suits you.  In addition to carefully selected performance repetoire, I use the following instructional materials:


As soon as I turn them all into PDF files, you'll be able to purchase a copyable PDF here for $30.00.  The chorales are denominationally non-specific and include the following:

Key C F Bb Eb Ab Db

Chorale Just A Closer Walk With Thee Rhosymedre Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy More Holiness Give Me I Know of A Name What A Friend We Have in Jesus

Key Gb B E A D G

Chorale Guide Oh Thou Great Jehovah Sweet Hour of Prayer Panis Angelicus All Glory, Laud and Honor Breath of Life Nearer My God to Thee

I anticipate having them ready for email delivery by February.

In the meantime, the B flat chorale - Brightly Beams our Father's Mercy and E flat chorale - More Holiness Give Me are available for free, along with a bonus Bb version of Just A Closer Walk with Thee.  Each chorale is designed to be copied back to back on a single sheet for the whole band and a full score version is included for the director.  They're enjoyable to play, handy as warm-ups, and teach key centers in an engaging way.  Give them - you might have fun.
