Teaching Brass by Kristian Steenstrup

[brianf]

OK, this is a commercial message but when the book is about the teachings of Arnold Jacobs, this may be of interest to some of you. I've been waiting for this for a while and have just added this to my web page, www.windsongpress.com . Yesterday the first copies arrived hot off the press from Denmark! I'll get more information on my page in a few days. Here's a brief description:

Kristian Steenstrup was no stranger to the Jacobs studio. During the early 1990's he would lead groups from Denmark to the Northwestern University Masterclasses. He followed this with lessons from Mr. Jacobs, who had great respect for Kristian. His trips to Chicago continued after the passing of Mr. Jacobs as he continued studies with Vince Cichowicz and John Henes, both Jacobs students. He spent time at WindSong Press continuing research with Mr. Jacobs' book collection archives which he indexed. Years later, Kristian transcribed those masterclasses which Teaching Brass is based on. While the title of Teaching Brass does not contain Mr. Jacobs' name, most material comes from Kristian learned from Mr.Jacobs - the third book about Arnold Jacobs from a trumpet player!
