"This book is amazing! It is a Swiss Army knife for band teachers.
The question and answer sections, definitions and illustrations are
so inclusive and well defined that this book is a must for well
seasoned and novice band teachers. The common technical faults and
corrections section alone is phenomenal! This book does not stop
there. As a brass specialist, I have had many colleagues ask me to
help their students fix 90% of the problems that are solved in
this
book. To the authors, I have to say: "Thank you" for proving such a
powerful tool for band teachers."--Ronald E. Litteral M.M.E.,
