 |
|
I found this dissertation online by Laura Bloss on A Comparative Examination of Six American Master Trumpet Teachers and the Regional Schools of Playing That They Represent. The six master trumpet teachers she covers are:
Vincent Cichowicz in Chicago
Louis Davidson in Cleveland
Armando Ghitalla in Boston
John Haynie in the Southwest
James Stamp on the West Coast
William Vacchiano in New York City
She also wrote about the early influence of Max Schlossberg and Harry Glanz.
Bloss compared these masters on these topics:
Breathing
Embouchure
Sound Concept and Tone Production
Articulation
Technique
Lesson Structure and Materials
Then she finished with a comparison of the sounds of these players, even with spectrographic analysis of recordings of Vacchiano, Ghitalla, Herseth and others. (Well, it's a Phd dissertation after all.) Interesting read!

Interesting paper. I've just started to delve into the first few pages, but I think it's going to be worthwhile to read all 158 pages.

This is an absolutely great work!
Can we make this a pre-requisite reading material to posting anything on TH? |
