Born in Tunisia in 1952, Christian Lauba has been a prominent contemporary composer, winning many prizes since his graduation from the Conservatory of Bordeaux during the mid-1980s. Lauba is particularly noted for his compositions and teaching guides for the Saxophone, such as Nine Studies for Saxophones. Composed betweem 1992 and 1994, Nine Studies for Saxophones won Lauba the SACEM prize in composition. The second volume, for Soprano and Tenor Saxophones contains the fifth, sixth and seventh studies; 1) Tadj, 2) Gyn, and 3) Vir. Nine Studies for Saxophones is very modern in style, exploiting extended techniques of the Saxophone to the maximum. These include articulation, modes, complex rhythms, ornamentation, tonality, harmonics, vibrato, resonance and flutter tonguing, among other aspects. With modern classical music becoming more and more prominent within the genre, Lauba's Nine Studies for Saxophones is essential to all saxophonists..

Whenever possible, practice these exercises and etudes with a wide variety of dynamics and styles of articulation. These styles might include: I. Smooth legato tonguing also known as portato . . . . II. Staccato, very clear and crisp. Also practice a kind of staccato that is less clearly articulated, more of a 'puffy' shape. III. Marcato, very strongly articulated with every note maintained at full value, very intense. Excerpt from Introduction by Chris Gekker.

This book includes an array of 30 studies to futher develop and explore the artistry of articulation. These studies present an interesting challenge in articulation because of their variety. The edited slurs and markings should be viewed as a way to increase the challenges presented in the music. In practicing these, I would recommend first playing them as marked and then explore some 'freedom' of interpretation and modify the articulations as you see fit. This way of practicing should increase your ability to respond to the diversity of music that you will encounter in performance.

“Melodic Studies is the third in a series of three volumes of studies for the Violin. Compiled in 1878 by Auguste Samie, the studies allow students to work on basic technical concepts, such as articulation, bowing and rhythm. The 15 exercises in Melodic Studies each helpfully contain a title indicating the focus of the exercise, followed by clear instructions regarding technique. Moreover, this edition of 60 Studies is revised and annotated by Georges Catherine, popular contemporary violinist and arranger. Edits by Catherine include bowing marks, fingerings, articulation, dynamics and performance directions. Containing input by two prolific figures of the Violin, Melodic Studies is an obligatory guide for beginners of the instrument. &rdquo.

Philip Sparke’s Starter Studies is the first volume of a progressive series of study books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician.This collection of 65 studies offers a choice of starting note to suit individual tastes and carefully introduces new musical elements, such as articulation, dynamics and key signatures in a structured progression to speed the learning process. Een groot aantal zorgvuldig gecomponeerde, instrumentgerichte etudes, die per boek een oplopende moeilijkheidsgraad hebben. Elk volgend deel sluit perfect aan bij het vorige, waardoor de totale reeks zich ontwikkelt van zeer eenvoudigtot gemiddeld.Während Philip Sparke an diesen drei Etüdenbüchern arbeitete, beriet er sich mit vielen Musiklehrern, wie man jungen Bläsern am besten neue Noten beibringt und zugleich einen Rahmen schafft, in welchen sich neue musikalische Elemente in einer logischen Reihenfolge einfügen lassen. Starter Studies für Anfänger und Skilful Studies sowie Super Studies für etwas fortgeschrittenere Bläser enthalten motivierende Etüden, mit deren Hilfe die Schüler strukturiert ihren Tonumfang erweitern und technische Fähigkeiten, wie Ansatzvariationen oder Griffe erwerben können. Die Etüden sind jeweils genau auf die technischen und musikalischen Anforderungen der einzelnenInstrumente zugeschnitten. Damit bekommen interessierte Schüler schon ab einem frühen Lernstadium optimales Übungsmaterial an die Hand, so dass sie schnell zu guten Musikern heranreifen können. Die drei Bücher können ergänzend zu jeder Instrumentalschule eingesetzt werden. Les débuts de l’apprentissage d’un instrument sont certainement les plus décisifs. Un bon professeur est un élément-clé, mais il est indispensable de posséder des outils pédagogiques complémentaires motivants offrant une présentation structurée des techniques de jeu et d’apprentissage. Starter Studies vous fournit un environnement adéquat l’introduction de nouveaux éléments musicaux en suivant une démarche logique qui facilite le développement rapide d’un “musicien complet”.“Gli inizi dell’apprendimento musicale sono decisivi. Un buon insegnante è un elemento chiave, ma è indispensabile avere a disposizione materiale pedagogico complementare che motivi gli allievi e che allo stesso tempo offra una presentazione completadelle tecniche del suono. Starter Studies è il primo volume di questa serie di studi strumentali: una collana che offre un ambiente adeguato all’introduzione di nuovi elementi musicali. Skilful Studies è il motore indispensabile perprocedere nel mondo della musica. Per diventare un musicista completo, gli studi proposti in Super Studies si concentrano su un’esigenza particolare relativa alla specificit del vostro strumento”.

The collection of 130 studies published in two volumes was compiled with the aim in mind to meet the demands of trombone instruction from the highest classes of the music schools to the Academy of Music. lt was selected from those 'traditional' studies which played a decisive role in trombone playing and instruction at the turn of the century and have become the most frequently performed studies since then. However old-fashioned these studies may seem, they belong to the best ones with regard to safe, smooth technique and the elaboration of a nice sound and will definitely serve their purpose in the future as well. On compiling the volumes, I have attempted to observe not only asequence according to grade of difficulty but the variety of characters as well. I am convinced that these studies are both useful and, when performed sufficiently colorfully, may contribute to overcoming the monotony of technical exercises. The articulation sings and markings of dynamics, which often differ from the original, try to meet this aim.I had already used this collection of studies before it was printed. 1 had to realize soon that the technical level of the first pieces was too high to assure a smooth transition from the trombone tutors written for beginners. As a result, I found it necessary to start the first volume with a shortened and facilitated version of some studies. Since these pieces in question have been changed considerably, a * beside the composer's name refers to the fact in each case that they are arrangements.I recommend my work to my past, present and future pupilsPál Makovecz.

“To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Fourteen Arabesque Studies for Flute will enable the pupil to attain brilliant technique on the instrument. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bozza won prizes for Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. The studies in Bozza's books prepare students for this most difficult rhythms and melodic writings. Furthermore, Fourteen Arabesque Studies contain virtuosic exercises including range, intervals, embouchure, breath control, phrasing, articulation, performance directions, dynamics and chromaticism, among other aspects. Being Arabesques, all Bozza's studies are exploited with complex rhythms and ornamentation, making for a unique and essential aid in the progression of advanced Flute studies.”.
