WASBE Developing Band Network

The WASBE Developing Band Network is a forum for musicians and educators throughout the world that are involved in the training of young band musicians. The way a young instrumentalist is taught varies from country to country but the ultimate goal is the same. The WASBE Developing Band Network connects music academies, school music programs, and youth bands throughout the world in an effort to share ideas about all aspects of band music education.

The Blog is a dialogue on a variety of topics where the Wiki is a repository of resources that pertain to band music education.

Please get involved by posting comments to specific blog postings or submit material for inclusion in the wiki.

Repertoire Survey 2001

The list is not endorsed by WASBE. It is merely a listing of music being played around the world by WASBE members in Spring 2001. Individual contributions are acknowledged but repertoire is not assigned to a particular band in order not to create any preconceptions of the status of the band. In this first year of the survey, not all contributions come from schools. We hope you find the listing useful. In all 244 works are compiled, some were being played by more than one ensemble (noted in parenthesis after the title).

Thanks to all the people who particpated:
