One of the best
things I've accomplished over the years is the development of a
comprehensive process for teaching
students to play well in every major key. An overview of the
whole process can be found in my master's project. That document
can be downloaded from the ERIC database by clicking the ERIC link
below. Have a look
and use it if it suits you.

The heart of that process is carefully selected
performance repetoire. I also use the
following
instructional materials:
fingering charts
(free download linked at left)
scale
sheets (free
download linked at left)
chorales
in 12 major keys (available for order)
The set is available in a single, reproducible book. A copy of
the book, along with permission to make copies for a single band
program is available for $50.00. The book includes the following
chorales:

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.
Click the link in the left panel to download them. Each chorale
is designed to be copied back to back on a single sheet
for the whole band. 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. Enjoy!
