  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

  • 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.

    Linda Yeo Leonard Recordings and Critical Listening Masterclass “World class players do not just happen – their talents are forged in the dual furnaces of determination and diligence.” -Edward Kleinhammer, former bass trombonist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (1940-1985) Becoming the best player you can will take hard work and determination. But if you work to become 1%-3% better every week you play your horn, just think how much better you could be in 6 months . a year. Wow- that would be exciting! I can’t stress the importance of listening to great recordings- I picked up many things from my father playing trombone in my house growing up. Many of you probably don’t have a parent who plays an instrument professionally. That’s fine- there are many excellent recordings out there of great musicians playing your instruments.

  • 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.
