  • 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.

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.

  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba
    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.

  • Coaching the Brass Quintet: Developing Better Student Musicians Through Chamber Music
    COACHING THE BRASS QUINTET: DEVELOPING BETTER STUDENT MUSICIANS THROUGH CHAMBER MUSIC By Albert E. Miller Jr. Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Michael Davidson ________________________________ Professor Scott Watson ________________________________ Dr. Alan Street ________________________________ Dr. Paul Popiel ________________________________ Dr. Martin Bergee Date Defended: April 1st, 2014 ! ii" The Dissertation Committee for Albert E. Miller Jr. certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: COACHING THE BRASS QUINTET: DEVELOPING BETTER STUDENT MUSICIANS THROUGH CHAMBER MUSIC ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Michael Davidson Date approved: April 15, 2014 " iii Abstract The brass quintet is currently one of the most predominant outlets for brass players to gain vital chamber music experience in the university setting. As a result, the role of applied brass instructors at universities has evolved into a role that is not entirely different than that of a conductor. The applied instructor plays the role of chamber coach, often without the skills necessary to provide the students with the skills they need for chamber music playing. This document seeks to provide the novice brass chamber coach with a guide as to the role of the applied professor in the musical and extra-musical development of young players. It will provide vital information for the coach that includes rehearsal strategies as well as samples of common performance issues found in the repertoire. While the amount of different rehearsal strategies and concepts is vast, this document aims to give the novice coach a primer for the instruction of student chamber ensembles.
