First reviews coming in!

"Stepping Stones For Euphonium, Vol. 1 is a superb new disc from one of the most enterprising and talented euphonium stars on the scene today. Pat Stuckemeyer has successfully produced a beautifully crafted recording of some of the most important pieces in the repertoire, i.e. music that lines the pathway of the euphonium player from student, through intermediate level to the advanced. In every way this is a clever, well thought out disc that gives model performances in quality of sound, mood, control and technique. Stepping Stones if marketed well, which I'm sure it will, should be perhaps one of the most sought after discs in this genre as it gives the learning player guidance in what appears to be easier repertoire, especially the last eight tracks. The more difficult works are also given authoritative readings that even the most advanced will take pleasure from. Wherever you can get hold of the disc, either on iTunes or by the buying the disc itself (which is very well presented indeed), go get it! Its resource for the teacher is immense, and lets face it there are many trombone and tuba teachers who have student euphonium players and who will find such a recording to be invaluable. I know for a fact a few of the pieces here I am hearing recorded for the first time and will prove a most useful teaching resource. I recommend this disc wholeheartedly and without reservation. Terrific job Pat - well done!"
