Getchell Etudes rewritten for band (WWs, brass, and mallets)
including neighbor and passing tones for WWs to help bolster finger dexterity. Thank you, Steven Moss, for this invaluable idea.
you can rewrite any etude/sightreading material in this way—consider the Bordner Practical Studies or Arban First Studies, etc.
however, the progression in complexity of Getchell’s music is excellent
read 1 a day or work on 1 per week depending on the level of ensemble
