Perfect practice doesn’t even make perfect.
Practicing makes PERMANENT!”
NLC Music Publications began in 1996 as a response to requests from colleagues for copies of the book Nathan was using with his students. Because of these requests, the book was cleaned up, reformatted, and sent to them. They began receiving inquiries about the book. The book, Fundamentals and Technique for Band, was sent to a publisher who accepted it for publication. The agreement fell through over some details and NLC Music Publications was born.
The book went through several revisions with the Fourth Edition morphing into two separate books, Fundamentals and Ensemble Drill and Technique for Band, to enable more focused material as well as a cleaner format.

“When you practice you are building skills and solving problems, or you are reinforcing bad habits and practicing mistakes. To be productive and successful, you must learn to understand the difference and practice effectively.”
