Описание: Advantages of this method:
Everyone is ALWAYS engaged
Brass progressively build greater range (to 5th partial and into pedal range)
Chunks the learning of 7 Major Scales into 3 note pieces for woodwinds & mallet percussion
Scaffolding & recall built in to exercises & between exercises
Each exercise flows into the next (ex. the note brass end their long tones on becomes the first note of the lip slurs)

About:
These warm ups were composed to tackle what I see as the greatest challenges and most applicable concepts for intermediate-advanced middle school musicians to learn and use in the repertoire they play.

They are this:
Brass - Range & Tone Quality
Woodwinds - Finger Dexterity
Pitched Percussion - Keyboard Literacy
Un-Pitched Percussion - Simple rudiments and multiple stroke rolls

The name Mosaic comes from the idea that each instrument family is working on a different concept (tessera) at any time but harmonically each family works together. Tesserae are collections of these individual parts that can be played on top of each other. You can keep the entire band engaged and playing at the same time while working on different concepts for the entire warm up.

Organization:
1. Breathing & Intonation
2. Articulation #1 & Long Tones #1 (Sticking & Accents)
3. Scale Builder & Lip Slur #1 (Flams & Paradiddles)
4. Scale Builder #2 & Long Tones #2 (drags, 9 stroke roll builder)
5. Scale Builder #3 & Lip Slur #2 (flam, drag, paradiddle, multiple stroke roll practice)
6. Register Shift #1 & Range Builder #1 (9 stroke roll, double stroke roll)
