Loubriel - Lasting Change For Trumpeters: The Pedagogical Approach of Arnold Jacobs

Specifically written for trumpeters, this books delivers the main tenets found in Arnold Jacobs's teaching paying special attention to the concepts of lasting change; or the ability to achieve performance consistency by bringing to a functional balance the four fundamentals of brass playing. While Jacobs customized each tenet to fit his students' specific developmental needs, this book aims at presenting those tenets so they can be understood by brass aficionados, advanced students, and professionals. Yet, as an ìacademic versionî of Brass Singers, Lasting Change offers an in-depth analysis of Jacobsís pedagogical approach. Luis E. Loubriel has taken special care in transcribing, editing, and structuring this information from recorded lessons and master classes given by Jacobs from 1967 to 1998. As such, this book stands out as a valuable contribution to the brass performance and pedagogy literature.
