Summary of This Method
Considered a reference for brass players, this method compiles the complete teaching of Jean-Baptiste Arban in a modernized and revised edition. It guides the instrumentalist through progressive and thorough work, from establishing sound production to essential technical reflexes for playing with ease and style. It offers a particularly rich journey focusing on attack, legato and staccato, tongue control, scales and arpeggios, intervals, and flexibility exercises, with an approach designed to build a reliable and lasting technique.
The "The Art of Phrasing" section provides 150 melodies (opera airs and songs) to strengthen breathing, line sense, and expressiveness, while working on intonation and tone control. The 68 duets help develop listening skills, rhythmic precision, and ensemble balance, a valuable asset for chamber music as well as section playing. Finally, the 40 characteristic studies, along with fantasies and solos, offer a true training ground for endurance, projection, and stylistic mastery, with an ideal repertoire for auditions, exams, and competitions.
