Composer Richard Summer pulls from his many years of experience as an educator to provide bands with interesting music that students will enjoy playing while also learning many important musical concepts along the way.

For the teacher of instrumental music classes, individual differences among students are inevitable. Unfortunately, the lack of flexible materials frequently forces teachers to adopt a quasi-instructional procedure best described as lockstep, where all students in the class rehearse each exercise until the slow members of the class succeed or until the teacher gives up. The Individualized Instructor was designed with the expectation that students are different. With this method, high-, average-, and low-achieving students in a class are able to progress simultaneously at their own rate according to their interest and ability. In addition, the flexibility of the instructional format often allows twelve or more students to perform different musical material simultaneously, thereby eliminating the “follow the leader†approach to music learning. All study materials in the series are musical. Nonmusical exercises are excluded in favor of folk song literature, musical rounds, and musical ensembles. Furthermore, The Individualized Instructor encourages students to think about their music: to analyze unfamiliar material, generalize previously learned concepts and skills, and synthesize all elements into a musically proficient performance. In addition, this series develops many fundamentals (tonality, phrasing, tempo, and musical style) through the use of the singing voice. Singing best provides the “musical†experience that, subsequently, can be applied to the development of musically sensitive instrumental performance. Books 1, 2, and 3 and the supplementary books ensure that these fundamental ideas are carried well beyond the first year of instruction.

The Voice on the Mountain was written for Mike Veak, a band director who dedicated 30 years of his life to teaching instrumental music in Lincoln, Nebraska. Nolan Schmit begins the piece with a flute solo representing a solitary voice on a mountain. The voice begins to build in strength and intensity as it travels down the mountain, is heard by others and is communicated to distant lands. This is a musical metaphor for a teacher - a solitary voice - who impacts generations of students. This is really a tribute to all band directors. A dramatic setting with an explosive ending.

Wahrend der vielen Corona-bedingten Lockdowns seit Fruhjahr 2020 habe ich mich, warum auch immer, tief in die vielgestaltige wie aufregende amerikanische Lyrik des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts verloren - auch, aber nicht nur auf der Suche nach spannenden, vertonbaren Texten.Bei William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) schliesslich, der trotz seiner eminenten Bedeutung gar nicht so viel vertont wurde, hat mein Suchradar schliesslich angeschlagen.Fernab der protzerischen Bildungsburgerei eines T.S. Eliot, Lichtjahre entfernt von der gefahrlichen Faschismus-Nahe eines Ezra Pound, gehort WCW, wie er gerne liebevoll genannt wird, mit Elizabeth Bishop und Robert Lowell wohl zu den Fixsternen der amerikanischen Moderne. Diese feine, reduzierte, vermeintlich unscheinbar-verspielte, auf den zweiten Blick aber so subversive und messerscharf-bedeutungsreiche Lyrik hat mich seitdem vollends in ihren Bann gezogen.Auf Gedichten aus drei Banden basierend, ,,Sour Grapes(1921), ,,An Early Martyr and Other Poems (1935) und ,,The Wedge (1944), habe ich schliesslich einen sechs Orchesterlieder umfassenden Zyklus komponiert. Mit diesem wollte ich WCWs Gedichte nicht etwa verdoppeln oder nachzeichnen, sondern ganz bewusst meine personliche Sicht auf diese fragilen Meisterwerke werfen. Dieses Auftragswerk der Wiener Symphoniker und des Wiener Konzerthauses wurde vom fein modellierten Klang und Facettenreichtum dieses wunderbaren Orchesters inspiriert. Es ist meinen Eltern gewidmet.

For a commission by the Cheswatyr Foundation for the Borromeo String Quartet, Matheson created a three-movement work on the construct of the Borromean rings - a chain of rings in which all rings are connected as a unit, but in which no two individual rings are connected. In this concept, each individual element is every bit as important and essential as the whole, and the whole collapses if any link in the chain is taken away. The work was premiered by the Borromeo String Quartet with Judith Gordon (piano). For advanced performers.

This flexible piece in 4 parts was written by Jacob de Haan as a ‘theme tune’ for the Yamaha teaching method seminars in Germany. The solemn and dignified hymn-like melody will add a touch ofgrandeur to any performance. Its simplicity and rich harmonies suggest overtones of Land of Hope and Glory and this would be a good item to bring a deep and uplifting sense of occasion to your concert. Vanuit zijn didactische ervaring met het componeren van eenvoudige muziek voor variabele bezettingen gaf de Nederlandse componist Jacob de Haan in 2004 een workshop tijdens het Yamaha Bläserklassen Kongress in Oberursel (bij het DuitseFrankfurt). Op verzoek van Wolfgang Feuerborn, leider en initiator van het project, schreef Jacob de Haan speciaal voor deze seminars een hymne. Hij noemde het stuk - heel toepasselijk - The Seminar Hymn. Dit werk isleerzaam en motiverend voor jonge muzikanten - en een plezier om naar te luisteren.Aufgrund seiner didaktischen Erfahrungen im Komponieren von leichter Musik für variable Besetzungen hielt der holländische Komponist Jacob de Haan im Rahmen des Yamaha BläserKlassen-Kongresses in Oberursel 2004 einen Lehrgang ab. Auf Wunsch von Wolfgang Feuerborn, dem Leiter und Initiator des Projekts, schrieb Jacob de Haan speziell für dieses Seminar eine Hymne. Er nannte das Stück - passenderweise - The Seminar Hymn. Dieses Werk vermittelt geschickt wertvolles Lehrmaterial für junge Musiker mit viel Motivation und Spielfreude, die sich auch aufs Publikum übertragen wird.La Yamaha BläserKlasse est un projet développé par Yamaha en partenariat avec le système éducatif allemand. Ce concept permet d’enseigner la musique d’ensemble l’école primaire (et premier cycle secondaire). Bénéficiant d’une riche expérience dans la composition d’œuvres pédagogiques instrumentation variable, Jacob de Haan compose un hymne, spécialement pour les séminaires d’application durant lesquels les enseignants sont formés cette nouvelle manière d’apprendre la musique.
