Book excerpt: "This book is built around interviews that Luis E. Loubriel conducted with Vincent Cichowicz and his most successful disciples over thirteen years, woven together with Loubriel's own analysis, and organized according to the central themes of Cichowicz's methodology. Although Cichowicz developed no rigid, one-size-fits-all system--indeed, his special talent was for custom tailoring his teaching to the needs of each student--certain fundamentals tenets informed all of his teaching. This book memorializes those tenets through the words of the master himself and some of his exemplary proteges. As such, it represents a significant contribution to contemporary understandings of trumpet pedagogy, and brass pedagogy in general"--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Technical Studies for the Cornet written by Herbert L. Clarke and published by Colchis Books. This book was released on with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books written for the Piano, Violin, etc., entirely devoted to Technic. This Work is especially written to enable the Student, by practice and application, to overcome any obstacle which may occur in musical passages written for the Cornet. By controlling the Wind Power to play these Exercises as written, in one breath, the Student will acquire ENDURANCE without strain or injury. Train the Muscles which control the Lips, to make them elastic and strong, as only a slight pressure is necessary, and not brute force. The highest as well as the lowest notes can be played with equal tone quality if practiced according to the instructions that precede each Study. Every Cornet Player should have reached a degree of excellence before attempting to play these Exercises. To become an Expert on the Cornet, one should be familiar with as many Cornet Methods as possible, and so gain the experience of each. Every Exercise in this Book is possible, and not so very difficult if practiced slowly at first, and not too long at a time. I have used them for my daily practice for years, and they have been the means of my reaching the highest notes after playing a two-hour Concert, also of preserving my lips so that they never tire, and what has been a help to me is surely good for other Cornet Players. You cannot expect to attain the highest point of excellence without hard work and perseverance. Never be perfectly satisfied with yourself. Try to make some improvement each day, feeling that it is a pleasure to have conquered that which seemed an impossibility at first. Do not neglect to correct immediately the least fault you make. Bad habits are easily formed, but are difficult to remedy. There are few Celebrated Cornet Soloists, although thousands play the instrument. Most players abuse their practicing by not knowing the proper way, and neglecting to pay more attention to the elementary work. These Studies have been found to be excellent for Clarinet Players as well as Cornet Players. The Clarinet being a Wind Instrument also, all these Exercises will appeal to the Player of that Instrument by following the same instructions.

This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Meredith Music Resource). This text covers every possible style appropriate to an intermediate book for brass. It includes music from the 14th century up to the beginning of the 20th century from dozens of countries, including original compositions that mimic many historic styles. The musical selections outside the standard repertoire compare well in quality to the more famous works, and have unique elements that increase students' musical vocabulary. Includes: challenging and rewarding music in a comfortable range for students with braces; musical exercises to teach phrasing; and lip slur exercises. The great musical examples make practicing feel effortless and enriching! In addition to classical etudes, a number of jazz etudes are incorporated that represent important styles including Dixieland, Swing, Bebop, Blues and various Latin forms.
Download or read book 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Trumpet written by Robert Anthony and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First and foremost: THIS IS NOT A METHOD BOOK. It is precisely what it says it is: 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises! Volume One is comprised of 300 progressive eight-bar exercises that cover the keys of C Major, F Major, G Major, A Minor, D Minor and E Minor. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time). The remaining key signatures, additional time signatures, tempo markings and dynamics markings will be covered in future volumes. All of the exercises are eight measures long. If one has done any study of formal analysis, they will find that eight measures is a typical 'period' of music and usually contains two, four-bar phrases (also typical in length). For example, many sonatinas, jazz standards, and pop songs use "32 Bar Form" (A A B A), "Binary Form" (A B), and "Ternary Form" (A B A), with each section often being eight bars. Thus, eight measures (one period of music) makes the perfect length for sight-reading studies in my opinion. How to use this book: Start where the exercises begin and work across the book - from exercise 1, 5, 9, 13 and so on until you get to a point where the music challenges you and then mark your ending point. The next practice, play exercises 2, 6, 10, 14, and so on... The next: 3, 7, 11, 15 and so on, and finally 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on. If you want to work at your "break point" (the point in the book where you can no longer play musically), work DOWN the page instead of across the pages. Note: This book is also available in a LARGE PRINT version that for printing purposes had to be divided into two books. If you have poor vision or want this book to be easy to SEE on an electronic device, you might prefer the Large Print Version. "These books differ from conventional 'methods' in that technical and theoretical instructions have been omitted, in the belief that these are more appropriately left for the teacher to explain to the student." - Bela Bartok, Mikrokosmos. I whole-heartedly agree with Bartok's sentiment and if music teachers would ask their students what they like least (or hate the most) about typical lessons, it is the method books that win this contest EVERY TIME. I have completely eliminated method books from my own teaching practice and have much happier and more productive students than ever. While this book is intended to train sight-reading skills, it may also be used by beginners or those new to reading to acquire basic reading skills, but it assumes one either has a teacher or can at least find C on their instrument. It starts at a very basic level (only three notes) and adds a new note, rhythm, or concept every four exercises and thoroughly reinforces them throughout the rest of the book. Next, the music's composition is a slave to its function: The purpose of the books is to train reading skill, and the exercises keep challenging the range that has been established by previous exercises as well as less-than-convenient intervalic skips. They are composed from a 'music-first' perspective, as opposed to an 'instrument-first' perspective, and are purposely composed to be difficult to memorize. For example, the first exercises begin on C because they are in the key of C, and then go on to sometimes start and end on different scale degrees of the same key. Those familiar with the Fundamental Modes will likely recognize what they are hearing, but those unfamiliar with these modes will likely be hearing something that sounds a bit different, or odd, until their ears acclimate to these sounds. I see many students go through this process with altered dominants and augmented triads as well. Additionally, a 20th-century composition technique (Bartok, Stravinsky) - Serial Composition - has also been used on several of the pieces, so if your ears are unfamiliar with this type of music, you might at first be uncomfortable with what you are hearing.

Download or read book Chopin for Trumpeters written by Luis E. Loubriel and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the "vocal side" of Chopin's music by focusing on the melodic lines of his music. As such, this book provides practicing materials that will challenge brass players both, technically and artistically. Some of the benefits of playing Chopin's music as transcribed for brass include: 1) The exposure to melodically and harmonically complex music from the Romantic era; 2) The practice of intricate ornaments such as trills, turns, and ad libitum passages not usually found in brass etudes (with the exception of Theo Charlier's 36 Trascendental Etudes); 3) The interpretation of musical styles--such as the Nocturnes, Ballades, and Mazurkas--which are not common in any of the brass instruments' repertoire. Throughout this book, players will find transcriptions--modified by the author to fit the register and technique of brass players--of, among others, Chopin's Polish Songs, Op. 74; Eccoisases; Mazurkas; Waltzes; Etudes; and a Nocturne. In some cases, the author had to transpose pieces---for example, the Mazurka in B-flat Major, Op. 17/1 was transposed a minor third lower to the key of G Major--to better fit the trumpet's register. The author also provides performance notes for each composition. These notes serve as a guide to Chopin's expressive intentions as well as giving technical guidance to the brass performer. The performer is also encouraged to listen to the artistic interpretation of other musicians--especially pianists but also other instrumentalists playing Chopin transcriptions--to gain further insights into each piece.
