Course
Syllabus for Applied Tuba and Euphonium
This syllabus spells out to my
students what is expected from them in order to get the most out
of their lessons and to have a positive experience in the studio.
Tune
of the Week
This is a list of literature
that every self-respecting classical musician should know. Somewhere
along the way, it dawned on me that music students at big schools
don’t get the same kind of exposure to the standard literature that
their conservatory peers do. So, I developed an assignment called
“Tune of the Week”, in which students listen to these works and
write an opinion paper based on their reaction to the piece. To
learn more about this assignment, hit the syllabus link.
“Do
You C What I C?”
A rather thorough (and lengthy!)
article examining the solo literature suitable for the big horn.
This topic is near and dear to my heart, as I didn’t own an F tuba
until I was about 30 years old and feel strongly about the necessity
of making good music on the contrabass tuba. This article suggests
a good basic repertoire for the one horn crowd. Published in the
Winter 2003 ITEA Journal.
