INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I believe in the power of music to

change kids lives. I think practicing an

instrument has the power to teach us

more about ourselves than anything else

in our lives. I am fascinated by the fact

that if I am methodical and careful

enough in my practice, there are no limits

to what I can do. I believe music teaches

us anything is possible.

I would like to acknowledge the many

teachers I have had in my life. They in-

clude George Garber, Roger Murtha,

Chris Gekker, Walter Chesnut, Dave Po-

lice, Denis Kidwell, Robert Carlin, Laura

and Aaron Buntin, Jonathan Carr, Tye

Ann Payne, Michael Dick, and Marion

West. Special thanks and love to my wife,

Alexa for her encouragement and love.

Major Scale Studies

B-Flat Major Scale Studies

!""

1. Use a variety of articulations in the scale studies; e.g.- slur, legato tongue, staccato, marcato, multiple tongue,

all "goo" or "ku," etc. Beginners should concentrate on developing a consistent single tongue which touches the

same spot behind their teeth every time. Start very slowly and use a metronome to document your progress.

2. Remember that range is developmental! While we should always be challenging ourselves to expand our range,

bad habits tend to arise as we move towards the outer extremes of our tessitura. Concentrate hard to make sure you

are always playing correctly. Rest frequently and stop whenever you need to.

3. Start at a comfortable mf dynamic level, before playing very loud or very soft. Dynamics are also develop-

mental, we should always concentrate on making a warm sound with a good "core," and maintaining that sound no

matter how loudly or softly we play.
