Playing Trumpet the Trumpets Plus Way Summary
|
Drawing upon examples from his 50 year career, Ivan Hunter has written a
series of short essays to help encourage trumpet students to retain their love
of playing. Among the contents essays are: Why Play Brass? Embouchure The Buzz System Method Books The Think System In his introduction he writes: For some years I had known that a lot of music teaching was being counter- productive; that it was turning people away from music rather than involving them more greatly in it. I was constantly hearing about children and adults who learned for a few years and then gave up, NEVER TO PLAY AGAIN. The book concludes with the story of the development of the Jaeger trumpet which he and John Diamond M.D. have developed. This trumpet was designed with the express purpose of encouraging people to continue in music. More information is available at www.trumpetsplus.com About the Author: Ivan Hunter currently works with John Diamond M.D. on the development of trumpets and other therapeutic musical instruments.
