You can download PDF samples of the score for many of the works they offer, so that you can evaluate the difficulty level and see if you like the piece. Solid Brass Music http://www.sldbrass.com carries works of many publishers. The web page does not let you see the music, but does give a grade level for each work. Good luck!

The concept is simple. The client "overpays" you for the lessons in advance with a bogus cashiers check. (Some of these counterfeits are very good.) You send them their "change." For example, they send you a check for $1000 and you send them change of $500, you're out $500 because their check will eventually bounce. A variation would be that they want to deposit the funds in your account and ask for your personal account information. There are probably many more variations on this theme.

I am teaching at Prince Claus Conservatory in Holland this week, and in one of my classes...about 9 hours from now (It's Tues. Feb. 6 at about 6PM EST...midnight the next day in Holland)...I am presenting a transcription of J. J. Johnson's classic solo on "Now's The Time" from the "J. J. In Person" album. Only thing is...I left the CD in NYC. Duh. And after about an hour of searching, I cannot download it from the web except on Rhapsody, which only works in the U.S. I would like the class to HEAR it, not just look at it. I blew it. So...if anyone here has the time to do so and has this CD, I would be very grateful if you would email that track to me. is my email address. Thanks...

I heard him once when I was in Junior High in Washington, D.C. WOW!! Now that I live in Alaska, I haven't heard a GREAT trombone player in live concert in decades. It's been inspiring (and fun) to read some of the comments on this list. And to see some of the on-line videos you've recommended ... Thanks.

I also have been looking at other pictures of trombone players ?in action? and have been trying to use those as a model for embouchure efficiency. It took about a month or so before I began to see any lasting effects, but after doing 5-10 minutes of free buzzing per day for several months, I have developed a much more efficient embouchure and have found that my breathing is more effective as well. I noticed this in quintet rehearsal a few weeks ago when I realized that I was making phrases that were several bars longer than I would have been able to last semester. That brings me to my question and a topic that I hope you will comment on (especially Sam). While surfing on youtube the other day, I came across this video clip of Arnold Jacobs. Not to dismiss any of his wisdom regarding breathing, but this seems to be totally contradictory to my recent experience both for myself and my students regarding free buzzing vs. mouthpiece buzzing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqTUwX0OVpM Comments?

Unlike arithmetic, embouchure pedagogy does not have only one truth. It is possible for seemingly contradictory approaches to both yield success (and failure). I think Jacobs was a little bit older school and they weren't fans of the freebuzz. I imagine he was originally pretty cutting edge with the whole cut away rim buzzing idea. Thought continues to develop. Even Sam proposes free buzzing in limited amounts. I use free buzzing more as an embouchure check up than as an exercise. That's not that far away from how Jacobs used the rim buzzing. I don't see it as an earth shaking contradiction, as much as the gradual progression of thought on the topic.
