Heck yea, I think it is pretty helpful. At least for me, of course there is a mindset that I think teachers need to keep, and that is theres no way to please everybody. Teaching techniques should be spread out, in a way that hopefully cover everyones learning ways.

Throughout my years in band early in high school, my teachers did use this technique quite frequently, and I thought that it worked very well. It all depends on your philosophy, I suppose.

I believe singing through pieces helps a great deal in the learning process. It's just like in symphonic band, when we tune we hum/sing the pitch and it always produces a better result. You get a feel for the song and know more along the lines of what it should sound like when you begin to play it.

not only is singing important, it helps you appropriately interpret the piece. singing the piece helps lyrical playing by leaps and bounds in fact in my trombone lessons i play out of a book that was meant for vocal exercises in singing but it does wonders for your lyricism. so yes singing and band go hand in hand...
