I've only just seen these, but these are great.

If anyone else has lesson tapes from lessons with Claude, I'd love to get my hands on them! There's something about listening to him teach that I just find very inspiring, like a cool glass of water on a hot day.
And I've picked up a bunch of little things from listening to some of these lesson tapes that were a little off in my own practice and just slightly changing a couple of small things has really put the machine into an equillibrium that I didn't even realise I had lost.

For whatever reason, Claude's no-nonsense approach has fallen out of fashion nowadays, but there is so much wisdom there. When you start to feel the machine working, everything Claude says just becomes obviously true.

I’m glad you enjoy it. Here’s another one.

https://www.purtle.com/audio/trumpet-lesson-claude-gordon-teaching-susan-slaughter-september-1982-lesson-2

You might not believe this but I actually had someone scold me in a private message saying how terrible a teacher Claude was and how he just got lucky that Susan went on to play better later. I had to correct the guy and tell him that Susan was actually already Principal Trumpet of the Saint-Louis Symphony when she started with Claude.

I think what people miss is that this is a process and practicing systematically isn’t a quick miracle. I don’t care who it is that has opinions of how playing works, if you don’t know how to work through material you won’t gain the benefit of all the great books.

On my site now I feature 4 audio files under “Editor’s Picks” that can be listened to without a free account. The other 70+ audio files are free for anyone to listen to with a free account. I’m re-listening to them and trying to tag them by topics and eventually everything will have searchable transcripts to quickly find what Claude and others said.

Write me directly if I can be of any help.

Susan played in the First All-State Band in Indiana with my father. I still have a copy of the program somewhere around here....

That’s very cool. You should scan it and post a picture of it.

I think people think about things differently now. Claude grew up during an era where people were looking for universal truths. Now everything is about personal truths.
The tricky thing is that when you're playing 'incorrectly' there are thousands of small things that can both help and hinder. You can do stuff with your lips, or obsess over mouthpieces etc and all of it seems to make a difference. But when the machine is working, nothing other than practice is that important. It's like the swimwear for Olympic swimmers. Yes, it makes a slight difference and if you're competing against a dozen of the world's fastest swimmers, that miniscule difference might be significant enough to care about.
But they're also spending 6 hours a day in the pool training, without that, the swimsuit is a waste of time caring about.

You can waste years being blown around by every latest idea fad and gadget and new theory on playing etc. Or you can practice like Claude said and actually get better...

I also find I weird that people criticise Claude's teaching given how similar it is to Bill Adams, Schlossberg etc. All involved much technical work, graded to stretch your abilities overtime.
My suspicion is that not being affixed to a university, his legacy is suffering from the same problem that Saint Jacome's did compared with Arban.[/url]

You can screencap the page in the pdf file, then paste it to a simple image editor. (For example, Windows Paint.) Then, crop the part you want to save as an image file.

I’m a Mac user so you could use Preview and export as a jpg anything that Preview opens. Preview is sort of like Adobe Acrobat but part of the MacOS and what I always use.

You should login and listen to all the free audio. It's now easily over 200 hours of material of Claude's brass camps, conferences, private lessons and more. I have a new recording being transferred soon from reel to reel that nobody has heard in close to 50 years.

Here's the URL to create a free account. It will email you a link to click and you are in. All the audio is under the Claude Gordon Archives section.
