Brass Singers: The Teaching of Arnold Jacobs

Specifically written for brass players, Brass Singers delivers the main tenets found in Arnold Jacobs's teaching. While Jacobs customized his teaching to fit his students' special developmental needs, this book aims at presenting his teaching concepts so they can be understood by brass aficionados, advanced students, and professionals. Luis E. Loubriel has taken special care in transcribing, editing, and structuring the information from recorded lessons and master classes--given from 1967 to 1998--to create an easy-to-follow narrative. As such, this book stands out as a valuable contribution to the brass performance and pedagogical literature.
