How many times have you explicitly given an assignment to a student and they come back the next week unable to replicate the teaching goals?

Having taught the violin for 20 years, this was a familiar scenario for me, and it led to the creation of the materials in the Teacher’s Toolkit collection from Music for Young Violinists. This resource will help students practice the correct way independently so they achieve optimal results with their hard work and home practice time.

Bass Trombone,Tenor Trombone,Trombone Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.810966

Composed by Brink, Philip. Instructional,Standards. Individual part. 134 pages. Gordon Cherry #4286489. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.810966).

Philip Brink has spent his entire career building the knowledge to assemble this major book on the pedagogy of the Trombone. Below are his words to describe what the book entails.

Trombonist’s Toolkit was conceived as exactly that: a resource for troubleshooting one’s playing, for working out problems, for advancing one’s playing skills. It is NOT a method in the traditional sense – no weekly lessons, no planned schedule for arriving at a certain point after a year, two years, etc. The player [you, the reader] can search the topic list for specific problems in need of solution. Most of the topics are organized by general subject areas: air, embouchure, range building, etc. The source for most of what I write is my own personal experience as student, teacher, freelancer and orchestral performer.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to teachers, mentors, colleagues and students past and present, for listening to my playing, trying out my concepts, putting up with my questions and so forth. Some of those people are present, some are far away, and sadly, some are no longer living. To all of them I say Thank you, and I hope those of you who read this can recognize what you told me!

            A word about the organization of the book: most of the concepts requiring practice and/or a physical approach are written out in a special manner; explanatory text is interspersed with exercises detailing a gradual approach to the topic at hand. The appendix contains a number of exercises all together, most of which were developed for my class at Mahidol University College of Music in Thailand.

Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1433072

Composed by Rusty Toots. Classical,Comedy,Contemporary. 38 pages. Russell Ward #1013501. Published by Russell Ward (A0.1433072).

It's a Saturday morning.  After a busy and hectic week, you have nothing scheduled. Your wife and kids are happily occupied with things that don't involve you. Time to mentally check out, retreat to the man cave and find something to do that doesn't involve anything other than what is physically in front of you. On the radio in the background, there are some old blokes musing laconically about football.   You don't really know what you'll be doing, but it will involve tools and not giving a flip about anything else for a little while. You may even need to make a trip to the hardware store at some stage... who knows?

 

Tooling-a-Round is the first movement of what is (planned to be) a multi-movement work for concert band, depicting the cherished role of backyard shed in the life of a typical suburban middle-aged family man.  Quavers are to be played rhythmically swung, with articulations observed whole-heatedly to highlight the playful and irreverent mood throughout - staccato markings in particular are to be exaggerated.   The sound of real tools should be used in the percussion parts where indicated (e.g. saw, file, hammer, toolbox, circular saw, power drill etc.) with rhythms to be approximated in order to give the impression of a project getting underway as the piece progresses and the protagonist meanders from one task to the next.


This piece is dedicated to busy fathers who work hard to preserve their capacity to create, play and explore.
