  • The Impact of Arnold Jacobs's Teaching on Canadian Tuba
    Song and Wind in Canada: The Impact of Arnold Jacobs’s Teaching on Canadian Tuba Pedagogues by Jonathan David Rowsell A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Jonathan David Rowsell 2018 Song and Wind in Canada: The Impact of Arnold Jacobs’s Teaching on Canadian Tuba Pedagogues. Jonathan David Rowsell Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Arnold Jacobs on the pedagogical approaches of prominent tuba teachers in Canada. Nine tuba teachers from different Canadian universities participated in this study. Each participant was interviewed digitally using Skype or FaceTime and asked nine questions designed to understand their personal pedagogical approach and how it relates to Arnold Jacobs. These questions cover important pedagogical ideas including sound concept, breathing, articulation, and embouchure. Arnold Jacobs is considered to be one of the most influential brass pedagogues in history. His method of teaching, referred to as Song and Wind, is a pedagogical concept frequently implemented in contemporary applied tuba teaching. The interview findings of this study demonstrate that the Arnold Jacobs legacy is very present in Canadian tuba pedagogy. The approaches to articulation and sound concept demonstrated by the interview subjects are consistently Jacobs inspired. The approaches to breathing and embouchure, however, are much more varied. Although these elements are not as tightly embedded in the Jacobs pedagogical ii approach, the results of the study demonstrate that the majority of the interview subjects are fully aware of the ways in which their current approaches have been adapted.

  • Chicago Symphony Orchestra Program, January 15, 1948
    CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PROGRAM, JANUARY 15, 1948 ARNOLD JACOBS, wielder of the tuba, Was born in Philadelphia in 1915. His father having "wanderlust", he spent the first fourteen years of his life travelling back and forth from Philadelphia to various points in California. His grandfather being a violinist and his mother a pianist, he, the third generation, become a musical black sheep when he took to a brass instrument. This was at the age of eleven when he became "bugler" in the Junior Boy Scouts. His mother wanted him to be a pianist but he finally discouraged these aspirations "by going for piano lessons with bandages on his fingers." From being bugler his next step was the trumpet, then the trombone and finally, because he lost his trombone enroute to California, the school band master offered to let him play tuba in the band. On his return to Philadelphia a few months later, at the age of 15, he was given a scholarship at the Curtis Institute of Music. After graduating from Curtis, he played for two seasons with Fabien Sevitsky in the Indianapolis Symphony. From there he went to the Pittsburgh Symphony and played for five seasons under Fritz Reiner. In 1941 he toured the country with Leopold Stokowski and the All-American Youth Orchestra, In 1944 he joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In 1937 he married a girl from Chicago who was dancing in the show he was playing in Atlantic City, N. J. at the R.C.A. convention ; they now have a nine-year-old son "who", says his dad, "plasters up his lips every time I try to give him a tuba lesson." His hobbies are deep sea fishing and photography and playing "jazz" on a bass fiddle.
