Summary of This Method
Derived from Peter Wastall's award-winning series, the LEARN AS YOU PLAY method returns in a revised and "refreshed" edition designed to instruct and inspire the new generation of musicians, both wind and brass players. Designed to be immediately accessible, it is aimed at students and teachers seeking a progressive, logical, and motivating learning path.
The method is divided into units: each introduces a specific concept, with clear explanations on what to do and how to do it. The student progresses step by step, linking instrumental technique to reading and listening, while maintaining a concrete musical goal. The numerous exercises help to stabilize acquired skills (rhythmic setup, fingerings or positions, sound control), then reinvest them in graded concert pieces, ideal for measuring progress.
To reinforce practice at home as well as in lessons, demonstration and accompaniment audio tracks are available online. They help develop the ear, sense of tempo, and quality of interpretation. Printable piano accompaniments are also offered to enrich ensemble playing and transform pieces into true mini-performances from the early years.
