Expanding my influences...

[Ross]

Hey all!

To my surprise(as I was generally discouraged from buzzing or thinking about the physical side of playing), I have found a lot of success working on ideas from Farkas's The Art of Brass Playing the past couple of months. So, I'd like to read other books about brass playing and the euphonium to see what other ideas I haven't been exposed to. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Absolutely! There are many great books about brass playing and the euphonium that you can explore. Here are a few suggestions:

"The Brass Gym" by Patrick Sheridan and Sam Pilafian - This book provides a series of exercises for brass players to improve their tone, range, and flexibility.

"The Euphonium Source Book" by R. Winston Morris and Lloyd E. Bone - This book is a comprehensive guide to the euphonium, covering everything from its history and development to technical exercises and repertoire.

"The Art of Tuba and Euphonium" by Harvey Phillips - This book covers all aspects of tuba and euphonium playing, including technique, musicianship, and performance practice.

"The Contemporary Euphonium" by Demondrae Thurman - This book includes a collection of original euphonium solos and etudes, as well as performance tips and exercises.

"The Tuba Family" by Arnold Jacobs - Although this book is primarily about the tuba, it contains many insights into brass playing that can be applied to the euphonium as well. Jacobs was a legendary brass pedagogue who taught many of the greatest brass players of the 20th century.

These are just a few suggestions, but there are many other great books out there as well. I hope you find them helpful in your continued exploration of brass playing!

I noticed good progress with "Daily Routines for Euphonium" by David Vining: https://www.mountainpeakmusic.com/da...for-euphonium/

Wow thanks! I had no idea Demondrae had written a book. Looking up the Jacobs and Phillips books I see books by Harold Brasch and Art Lehman as well, so I’ll have to get my hands on all of those. Thanks for the help!
