Summary: 38-yr old book a "bellwether" for Symphonic Fundamentals
Comments: It is not by accident that Mr. Edwin Kleinhammer's name appears on many, many symphony musicians' bios. There are plenty of outstanding players, but "teaching" world class artists is another thing. CSO artists Mr. Kleinhammer and the late Mr. Arnold Jacobs and the late Mr. Frank Crisafulli have trained innumerable (global) lower brass artists for well over thirty years each. I have had the pleasure of receiving a group lesson from Mr. Kleinhammer with two others and individual instruction from the late gentleman's gentleman Mr. Frank Crisafulli. What about the book? Mr. Kleinhammer states in his book that he strongly encourages lessons, but at the "worst" the book can self-teach the reader...this is NOT an exaggeration. His highly detailed diagrammed/photo-filled pages on embouchure alone can not be replicated in any other text, they are worth the price of the book by themselves. The (paperback) text includes HIGHLY practical sections on breathing, tone, range, slide technique/legatto (when to use "loo" vs. "doo", etc), intonation control, daily exercises and the cruicial tongue-ing and concurrent air flow (emphasize the "air" get the flappy thing out of the way) mistakes of even advanced amateur players. If you "see" the pros calmy whip through a passage of a rapid Rimsky-Korsakov, for example, without jerking the slide or doing face contortions, etc. you're seeing all of Mr. Kleinhammer's book suggestions put into motion..this level of 1st flight pro does "make it" look easy. Go see a Joe Alessi, an outstanding jazz trombonist as well as the NY Phily first chair, and you'll see what I mean.
The book contains also contains a concise section on trombone prep. literature including Clarke, Arban, Blazhevich, Carl Fischer, Rochut (Melodious Etudes Book III--a masterpiece of symph. prep.in my opinion), and all the significant classic solos and ensemble pieces.
Again, Mr. Kleinhammer correctly mentions throughout the book that the student needs models to listen to, pattern after..simply put he's talking about "recordings" (not necessarily concert halls as you will not be able to sufficiently pick out the passage)Get the Ralph Sauer (Audition excerpt)or Christian Lindberg CDs and listen, and listen some more.. The student who gets on this early in the game combined with this book and a decent brass teacher will be far ahead of the game.
Another suggestion is to tune into the current Boston Symphony bass trombonist's website, Doug Yeo, he provides some fabulous suggestions and advice. (Mr. George Krem, Mr. Yeo's first college played with me in Wheaton, IL. He has served as the Chicago Civic Orchestra, Winnepeg & Victoria Canada and now Cedar Rapids, IA principal. He also has a CD out, taught at the U of Iowa for 12 years after being taught himself by Mr. Keith Brown a legendary Phily Orch. trombonist. Mr. Krem is a very fine teacher and artist). This book, with some good CDs to model after and a decent brass teacher (doesn't have to be "lower" brass teacher frankly) will provide some distinct advantages in accelerating your progress. ...

Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: To whom looking for general information about Trumpet...
Comments: Usually one who begin to learn trumpet does not know much about instrument itself. Many method book only describes shortly about this. Even there is no explaination! This tipbook may be the supplement for such problems. After reading this book, even novice can buy instrument by himself. I recommend this book not to only player but to the musician who is run for both knowledge and technique. This book has many good illustrations and is very readable.

Summary: Wow!!! Not for beginners!!
Comments: I have been playing violin for quite a while and just bought this book. There is a version that comes with a cd which is very helpful. Their are note in 3rd, 4th and 5th position but they are transposed down for those who can't play them. The most recognizable themes are there (harry's wonderful world and hedwig's theme) and a few that are hard to recongnize, such as dobby's theme (this is why the cd is so good). Since their are not that many copies on amazon.com, be sure to check out your local music store. Mine had a book for every instrament and also came with paino accompaniment!!

Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: A must-have for wind ensemble and band music enthusiasts!
Comments: Hallelujah Trombone is a very thorough study of the life and work of Henry Fillmore, a publisher and composer of music for bands and wind ensembles. He was best known for writing ragtime tunes featuring the trombone which used the glissando, or smear, to humorous effect. He also wrote a number of excellent marches which are still played frequently across America and all over the world. Most high school and college musicians have no trouble recognizing his music, but few know about the composer who wrote it. Paul Bierley has done a spectacular job of bringing us a portrait of one of the most jovial and unforgettable composers of band music who ever lived. His efforts will be particularly appreciated by band directors, because Mr. Bierley has put forth considerable effort to catalogue the many works which Fillmore composed and arranged: however, professional, amateur, and student musicians will also enjoy reading this book to learn the background of Fillmore's music.

Summary: Dr. Lane's bibliography is a most comprehensive collection.
Comments: G.B. Lane has brought us yet another fine, monumental research product. I was able to put this resource to good use the first day it arrived. If you are not familiar with annotated bibliographies this one is perfect for your indoctrination. Not only because its focus is limited to the trombone, but because clear instructions on how to use the book are given in the preface along with search examples, a feature rarely found in scholarly publications. Lane intends his book for all trombonists, not just researchers. He has listed every descriptive source he could find on all aspects of our instrument. The annotations are concise yet packed with important details and the cross-references display remarkable investigative depth and organization. At 1305 entries, Dr. Lane's bibliography is the most comprehensive collection of "leg-work" our instrument has seen. In the book's forward Thomas Everett describes this work as a "Herculean labor of love." How right he is, for research of this magnitude is not accomplished within any space short of a lifetime. Thanks for providing us with such an enormous and thoughtful service, Dr. Lane.Mike Hall, Eastern Michigan University, Literature Reviews Editor, International Trombone Association Journal
