3 comments about Art of Tuba and Euphonium/0682 (Art of).

1. I purchased this expecting a well organized overview and introduction about most important things to know about the tuba, I thought it would be as good as is the Farkas book for French horn, but it is far from that. Of course it contains a lot of informations, but I did not find many of the answers for the questions I have as a beginner. It's structure lets a lot to wish for too...



2. This short book is just as described and its authorship is about as authoratative as they come. Its a bit dated, in that all sorts of innovations have been made in tuba and euphonium design since its writing. I'm only a serious hobbiest, not a professional tubaist, (I am a rabbi by profession,) so the book is just interesting reading for me. Nice and very practical technical advice; reading helped me remember ways to keep a lid on sloppy playing habits I've developed over the years playing in non-demanding community bands and the like. For a one volume, inexpensive book, it's a great value.



3. If you're a tuba player, you could probably get some use out of this book. Euphonium players would not. Regardless of the idea that the euphonium is a "little tuba", it isn't. There are fundamental differences in approach to each instrument that Harvey Phillips overlooks as he takes to the same school of thought. Euphonium players would be better off getting the Lehman version.

1 comments about Little Boy with a Big Horn (A Golden Classic).

1. A classic Golden Book by Jack Bechdolt (1884-1954) re-illustrated with care and enthusiasm by internationally exhibited artist Dan Yaccarino, Little Boy with a Big Horn is a picturebook about a bespectacled little boy named Ollie who is learning to play a big brass horn. But the horn makes so much noise it disrupts the neighbors; what is a boy to do? He tries playing further and further away, and finally rows out to sea, only to find that the bell buoy marking reef rocks in foggy weather is missing! His far-reaching brass horn notes warn an oncoming ship and save the day, and as a reward he is given the chance to go to music school. An exuberant and heartwarming picturebook, ideal for public library collections.
