Music trumpet trumpet pedagogy brass brass pedagogy brass methods The names James Stamp, Donald Reinhardt, Carmine Caruso, and Claude Gordon have come to be associated with unique teaching methods that have had an unprecedented influence on current and future generations of brass players. These four pedagogues lived during approximately the same time period spanning the years between 1904 to 1996. Their reputations as master teachers are bolstered by their number of former students currently occupying prominent professional playing appointments in all genres of music as well as prestigious teaching positions in academia and private studios. Reinhardt and Gordon were prolific in documenting the strategy of their own pedagogy. Caruso and Stamp had little interest in authoring a written method leaving the task to their prominent students. The very nature of a static, unyielding text stands in opposition to these four teachers who were known to have taught each student as individuals, diagnosing particular playing problems and developing a practice strategy that addresses those needs. Of the four methods discussed, Reinhardts Pivot System stands alone in addressing individual differences based on the physical anatomy of a student. Each of these methods have been surrounded by varying degrees of misinformation and controversy. This was largely due to the fact that most of the information concerning these methods was passed down orally, usually by those having studied personally with these instructors. By the time concepts from these methods were disseminated from teacher to student in later generations, the authors original intentions were often distorted or misrepresented. There have always been a large group of devoted students of each of these four methods. Many of these students have written their own books and continue to teach, and elaborate on the concepts developed by Stamp, Reinhardt, Caruso, and Gordon. 2004-02-17 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1070918203 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1070918203 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
