Book I-The general plan of this method aims at a systematic rotation of playing fundamentals using new material in each case. Consequently eight or ten exercises are considered as a complete lesson including exercises for tone development articulation mechanism phrasing ensemble playing etc. I believe that this principle is sounder pedagogically than that of presenting many exercises of the same type in succession the superficial attractiveness of the latter notwithstanding. Every exercise or melody has been introduced for a purpose and in most cases that purpose has been stated. In any event however the teacher should take care that the student knows why theexercise was written. A small amount of practice with definite purpose is better than a great amount of 'wandering' on the instrument. The instrument range in this book is moderate. The few exercises that exceed the playing limit of a particular student may be omitted as the material for each new problem is adequate. The pupil-teacher duets can be played by two students as the range of the teacher's part is not prohibitive. Posture Holding the instrument breathing production of tone technical development the language of music and care of the instrument are topics treated in this book.

Therefore the book may be used either as a source of over 27 pieces or as five suites...providing countless options whatever your performance occasion!

Although this book has been written as a logical sequel to Book I of the Breeze-Easy Method for Trumpet (Cornet) it may be used advantageously as a follow-up to any good beginning method. As in Book I the trumpet and Trombone books may be used in conjunction with each other thus facilitating the organization of brass classes. Four major areas are emphasized in each lesson: Embouchure Development Each lesson has a warm-up exercise progressing from long tones and easy lip slurs in the early lessons to moderately advanced flexibility studies in the later lessons. Interval studies are also frequently employed to give the student drillin tone placement. A playing knowledge of scales Each lesson contains concentrated scale practice in the belief that a mastery of scales is essential to general technique an facility. Rhythmic reading All rhythmic studies are designed to develop independence in reading and all duets are contrapuntal in style giving the student the responsibility of carrying his own part. This individual independence in reading is a basic to efficient ensemble performance. Developing a conception of legato (song style) playing Folk ballads are generously interspersed throughout the book in the belief that the development of a singing tone is a most important and oft-times most neglected phase of wind instrument performance.

The Belwin Student Instrumental Course is a course for individual instruction and class instruction of like instruments, at three levels, for all band instruments. Each book is complete in itself, but all books are correlated with each other. Although each book can be used separately, all supplementary books should be used as companion books with the method.
