I have noticed a sudden marked improvement in my students (14 year olds) playing since I have introduced them to John Miller's 'Progressive Studies' and Edwin Franko Goldman's 'Practical Studies'. I hear them playing them before band rehearsal (Miller's 'Rubber Lips' and Goldman's 'Study no 2' in particular). Both the clarity of sound and articulation has shown a marked improvement. I also have them working on Clarke's 'Technical Studies' and Vizzutti's '20 Dances'.

Goldman's 'Practical Studies" is a terrific book. I spent a lot of time with it my first year of college, working on tonguing and articulation. I still return to it periodically to help refine my fundamentals.
Joey Tartell just edited a new version of "Practical Studies." It includes notes from him regarding each of the studies: How to interpret them, what they are intended to help with, etc. |

As an adult learner (though not brand new to music), I'd be curious to know what makes a good book. What in particular about Goldman stands out?
How as a teacher do you decide what is worthy and what is just average, beyond the obvious classic studies like Arban and Clark etc.? |
