I believe this series solves several problems that ensemble conductors and private teachers struggle with on a daily basis:
Motivating their students to practice more Helping students make more of an immediate connection between the music they are playing in band or orchestra and the world around them Achieving more meaningful student engagement during the technique portion of ensemble rehearsals (and for that matter, making technique more fun for students in general!)Essentially, the Foundations Series is a collection of technical exercises that are set to actual movie soundtracks.
