Symphonic Band Clinic PDF

This document provides information about a symphonic band clinic composed by Robert W. Smith as part of a series of four warm-up and musical development exercise sets. The symphonic band clinic, like the others in the series, is designed to be used in regular band rehearsals to introduce and reinforce musical concepts and technical skills. It contains four main segments - Tone, Technique, Theory/Composition, and a Chorale - to work on these elements in a full band setting. The composer has used variations of these exercises throughout his teaching career and in honor bands to supplement instruction and provide a useful tool for rehearsals.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Symphonic Band Clinic is the fourth in a series of four warm-up and musical development exercise sets designed for
use in the context of a regular band rehearsal. Consisting of four main segments including Tone, Technique, Theory/
Composition, and a Chorale, each Band Clinic was written to introduce and/or reinforce musical concepts and technical
skills in a full band setting. Published as a set of single band parts, each Band Clinic is designed to be included in student
folders facilitating instruction and reinforcement in any concert band warmup situation.

The four sequential sets include:

First Band Clinic


Developing Band Clinic
Concert Band Clinic
Symphonic Band Clinic

I have used these exercises in various forms throughout my teaching career as part of my band rehearsal warm-up
procedure. I continue to use variations of these exercises in each honor band setting that I am fortunate enough to
participate. It is my hope that you will find each Band Clinic to be a valuable supplement to your teaching and a useful
tool in your rehearsals. I wish you success in all your teaching endeavors.

Please note: Our band and orchestra music is now being collated by an automatic high-speed system.
The enclosed parts are now sorted by page count, rather than score order.
