stic Etudes for Trombone
was written for
intermediateto advanced
level trombonists,
seeking to meet
thedemands of the modern
marketplace for
performers. AsI often
tell my students,
it’s simply not
enough to mastera single
style and fake the rest.
To make a living as
aperformer, trombonists
are expected to play
many, manydifferent
styles authentically.
Classical performers
studyhard and devote
themselves to mastering
the stylisticnuances of
various eras, various
composers, variousforms;
jazz musicians seek to
accurately reflect the
stylesof everything from
bar-room burlesque to
Coltrane; hornbands in
the funk, rock, ska and
hip-hop idioms
mustreflect attention to
the details of their
influences even asthey
create new paths through
popular music.This etude
collection is an attempt
to help studentsand their
teachers work on the
details associated
withmastering each of
these various styles.In
order to perform with the
correct feel,
articulationand sound,
trombonists must first
get these concepts
intheir head through
diligent listening and
then disciplinedpractice
playing in every single
style. The same
wayorchestral players
study the symphonic
literature andexcerpts,
or the way a professional
jazz musician mightwork
on chord changes in
excruciating detail, a
wellroundedtrombone
player must master styles
by listeningto and
playing with great
recordings. Most of the
etudesin this book are
based on styles from
specific
orchestralliterature,
jazz standards and other
styles such as
NewOrleans’ funk
music (Meters) or the
music of JamesBrown and
Tower of Power.One final
note: some of these are
hard. On purpose.
Theseare not warm-ups
that you can play through
mindlesslyto get your
face going. These are
“study
pieces†in the
oldfashionedsense. They
are designed to challenge
you asa player, to make
you a little
uncomfortable. Some
aretougher than others,
of course, but none of
them are easy.If you can
play through each of
these well, with
greatmusicianship and
impeccable technique, you
will be anincredibly
versatile instrumentalist
and be able to
secureperformance
opportunities that are
outside the comfortzone
of many
trombonists.Thanks for
buying this book. I hope
you enjoy workingthrough
these, whether
you’re a teacher,
student,performer, or
weekend warrior. I
learned a lot by
puttingthese together and
I hope you find them
useful and
helpful. Stylistic

orchestral players study
the symphonic literature
and excerpts, or the way
a professional jazz
musician might work on
chord changes in
excruciating detail, a
well-rounded trombone
player must master styles
by listening to and
playing with great
recordings. Most of the
etudes in this book are
based on styles from
specific orchestral
literature, jazz
standards and other
styles such as New
Orleans’ funk
music (Meters) or the
music of James Brown and
Tower of Power.How these
etudes were conceived,
composed and transcribed:
The style or concept of
the etude was thought out
in my head and ear. I
then improvised in that
style and concept on my
trombone, recording my
efforts until I was
satisfied with the etude.
All along, my goal was to
play the range of the
instrument while
emphasizing certain
articulations, rhythms,
range and, fundamentally,
the intended style of the
etude. The resulting
etude was then
transcribed by a terrific
graduate student named
Zach Bornheimer, who also
works with many other
classical and jazz
composers as a
copyist/arranger.Tips for
working on the etudes:
Seek out professional
recordings that match the
style of each etude to
get a good idea of what
the etude should sound
like musically. My
recording of each of
these etudes is available
for download and can be
purchased online for a
modest fee. Search for
“Brantley
Etudes†at either
iTunes or CDBaby.
Practice each etude very
slowly and in segments as
needed, using a
metronome. Record
yourself and listen for
good technique,
musicianship and
authenticity of style
with your sound, feel and
articulations. Compare
your own efforts to the
sounds you’ve
heard on recordings.
Would you fit in that
ensemble or band? If
range is an issue, take
certain notes or passages
down or up an octave.
Work on your fundamentals
every day, including the
techniques and skills
needed for these etudes.
Be patient! Small
improvements every day
result in big success
over time. Always play
with a wide dynamic
range. Always play with
line and direction.
Always play with
impeccable time as well
as rhythm. Use a
metronome to help with
this. Always play in
tune. You can work on
this with a tuner as well
as with drones. Play
these for teachers,
friends, peers and
colleagues not only for
their feedback but also
for the experience of
informal performance. An
audience changes
everything. Make music,
listen to music, record
yourself, play in public
and have fun!One final
note: some of these are
hard. On purpose. These
are not warm-ups that you
can play through
mindlessly to get your
face going. These are
“study
pieces†in the
old-fashioned sense. They
are designed to challenge
you as a player, to make
you a little
uncomfortable. Some are
tougher than others, of
course, but none of them
are easy. If you can play

bands in the north Dallas
region, FOR THEMYSTIC
HARMONY is a 10-minute
inspirational work in
homage to Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon,patrons
of the Fort Worth
Symphony and the Van
Cliburn Competition.
Welcher draws melodic
flavorfrom five American
hymns, spirituals, and
folk tunes of the 19th
century. The last of
these sources toappear is
the hymn tune For the
Beauty of the Earth,
whose third stanza is the
quatrain: “For the
joy of earand eye, For
the heart and
mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound
and sight,â€giving
rise to the work’s
title. This work,
commissioned for a
consortium of high school
bands in the north Dallas
area, is my fifteenth
maturework for wind
ensemble (not counting
transcriptions). When I
asked Todd Dixon, the
band director
whospearheaded this
project, what kind of a
work he most wanted, he
first said
“something
that’s basically
slow,†butwanted to
leave the details to me.
During a long subsequent
conversation, he
mentioned that his
grandparents,Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon, were
prime supporters of the
Fort Worth Symphony,
going so far as to
purchase anumber of high
quality instruments for
that orchestra. This
intrigued me, so I asked
more about his
grandparentsand was
provided an 80-page
biographical sketch.
Reading that article,
including a long section
about theirdevotion to
supporting a young man
through the rigors of the
Van Cliburn International
Piano Competition fora
number of years, moved me
very much. Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon
weren’t just
supporters of the arts;
theywere passionate
lovers of music and
musicians. I determined
to make this work a
testament to that love,
and tothe religious faith
that sustained them both.
The idea of using extant
hymns was also suggested
by Todd Dixon,and this
10-minute work is the
result.I have employed
existing melodies in
several works, delving
into certain kinds of
religious music more than
a fewtimes. In seeking
new sounds, new ways of
harmonizing old tunes,
and the contrapuntal
overlaying of one
tunewith another, I was
able to make works like
ZION (using 19th-century
Revivalist hymns) and
LABORING SONGS(using
Shaker melodies) reflect
the spirit of the
composers who created
these melodies, without
sounding likepastiches or
medleys. I determined to
do the same with this new
work, with the added
problem of
employingmelodies that
were more familiar. I
chose five tunes from the
19th century: hymns,
spirituals, and
folk-tunes.Some of these
are known by differing
titles, but they all
appear in hymnals of
various Christian
denominations(with
various titles and
texts). My idea was to
employ the tunes without
altering their notes,
instead using aconstantly
modulating sense of
harmony —
sometimes leading to
polytonal harmonizations
of what are
normallysimple four-chord
hymns.The work begins and
ends with a repeated
chime on the note C: a
reminder of steeples,
white clapboard
churchesin the country,
and small church organs.
Beginning with a
Mixolydian folk tune of
Caribbean origin
presentedtwice with
layered entrances, the
work starts with a
feeling of mystery and
gentle sorrow. It
proceeds, after along
transition, into a second
hymn that is sometimes
connected to the sea
(hence the sensation of
water andwaves throughout
it). This tune, by John
B. Dykes (1823-1876), is
a bit more chromatic and
“shifty†than
mosthymn-tunes, so I
chose to play with the
constant sensation of
modulation even more than
the original does. Atthe
climax, the familiar
spiritual “Were you
there?†takes over,
with a double-time
polytonal feeling
propelling itforward at
“Sometimes it
causes me to
tremble.â€Trumpets
in counterpoint raise the
temperature, and the
tempo as well, leading
the music into a third
tune (ofunknown
provenance, though it
appears with different
texts in various hymnals)
that is presented in a
sprightlymanner. Bassoons
introduce the melody, but
it is quickly taken up by
other instruments over
three
“verses,â€cons
tantly growing in
orchestration and volume.
A mysterious second tune,
unrelated to this one,
interrupts it inall three
verses, sending the
melody into unknown
regions.The final melody
is “For the Beauty
of the Earth.†This
tune by Conrad Kocher
(1786-1872) is commonly
sung atThanksgiving
— the perfect
choice to end this work
celebrating two people
known for their
generosity.Keeping the
sense of constant
modulation that has been
present throughout, I
chose to present this
hymn in threegrowing
verses, but with a twist:
every four bars, the
“key†of the
hymn seems to shift
— until the
“Lord of all,
toThee we praiseâ€
melody bursts out in a
surprising compound
meter. This, as it turns
out, was the
“mystery
tuneâ€heard earlier
in the piece. After an
Ivesian, almost polytonal
climax, the Coda begins
over a long B( pedal. At
first,it seems to be a
restatement of the first
two phrases of “For
the Beauty†with
long spaces between them,
but it soonchanges to a
series of
“Amenâ€
cadences, widely
separated by range and
color. These, too, do not
conform to anykey, but
instead overlay each
other in ways that are
unpredictable but
strangely comforting.The
third verse of “For
the Beauty of the
Earth†contains
this quatrain:“For
the joy of ear and eye,
–For the heart and
mind’s delightFor
the mystic harmonyLinking
sense to sound and
sightâ€and it was
from this poetry that I
drew the title for the
present work. It is my
hope that audiences and
performerswill find
within it a sense of
grace: more than a little
familiar, but also quite
new and unexpected. $150.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

works Places in the West,
I've been wanting to
write a companion piece
for national parks on the
other side of the north
American continent. The
earlier work, consisting
of GLACIER, THE
YELLOWSTONE FIRES,
ARCHES, and ZION, spanned
some twenty years of my
composing life, and since
the pieces called for
differing groups of
instruments, and were in
slightly different styles
from each other, I never
considered them to be
connected except in their
subject matter. In their
depiction of both the
scenery and the human
history within these
wondrous places, they had
a common goal: awaking
the listener to the
fragile beauty that is in
them; and calling
attention to the ever
more crucial need for
preservation and
protection of these wild
places, unique in all the
world. With this new
work, commissioned by a
consortium of college and
conservatory wind
ensembles led by the
University of Georgia, I
decided to build upon
that same model---but to
solidify the process. The
result, consisting of
three movements (each
named for a different
national park in the
eastern US), is a
bona-fide symphony. While
the three pieces could be
performed separately,
they share a musical
theme---and also a common
style and
instrumentation. It is a
true symphony, in that
the first movement is
long and expository, the
second is a rather
tightly structured
scherzo-with-trio, and
the finale is a true
culmination of the whole.
The first movement,
Everglades, was the
original inspiration for
the entire symphony.
Conceived over the course
of two trips to that
astonishing place (which
the native Americans
called River of Grass,
the subtitle of this
movement), this movement
not only conveys a sense
of the humid, lush, and
even frightening scenery
there---but also an
overview of the entire
settling-of- Florida
experience. It contains
not one, but two native
American chants, and also
presents a view of the
staggering influence of
modern man on this
fragile part of the
world. Beginning with a
slow unfolding marked
Heavy, humid, the music
soon presents a gentle,
lyrical theme in the solo
alto saxophone. This
theme, which goes through
three expansive phrases
with breaks in between,
will appear in all three
movements of the
symphony. After the mood
has been established, the
music opens up to a rich,
warm setting of a
Cherokee morning song,
with the simple happiness
that this part of Florida
must have had prior to
the nineteenth century.
This music, enveloping
and comforting, gradually
gives way to a more
frenetic, driven section
representative of the
intrusion of the white
man. Since Florida was
populated and developed
largely due to the
introduction of a train
system, there's a
suggestion of the
mechanized iron horse
driving straight into the
heartland. At that point,
the native Americans
become considerably less
gentle, and a second
chant seems to stand in
the way of the intruder;
a kind of warning song.
The second part of this
movement shows us the
great swampy center of
the peninsula, with its
wildlife both in and out
of the water. A new theme
appears, sad but noble,
suggesting that this land
is precious and must be
protected by all the
people who inhabit it. At
length, the morning song
reappears in all its
splendor, until the
sunset---with one last
iteration of the warning
song in the solo piccolo.
Functioning as a scherzo,
the second movement,
Great Smoky Mountains,
describes not just that
huge park itself, but one
brave soul's attempt to
climb a mountain there.
It begins with three
iterations of the
UR-theme (which began the
first movement as well),
but this time as up-tempo
brass fanfares in
octaves. Each time it
begins again, the theme
is a little slower and
less confident than the
previous time---almost as
though the hiker were
becoming aware of the
daunting mountain before
him. But then, a steady,
quick-pulsed ostinato
appears, in a constantly
shifting meter system of
2/4- 3/4 in alteration,
and the hike has begun.
Over this, a slower new
melody appears, as the
trek up the mountain
progresses. It's a big
mountain, and the ascent
seems to take quite
awhile, with little
breaks in the hiker's
stride, until at length
he simply must stop and
rest. An oboe solo, over
several free cadenza-like
measures, allows us (and
our friend the hiker) to
catch our breath, and
also to view in the
distance the rocky peak
before us. The goal is
somehow even more
daunting than at first,
being closer and thus
more frighteningly steep.
When we do push off
again, it's at a slower
pace, and with more
careful attention to our
footholds as we trek over
broken rocks. Tantalizing
little views of the
valley at every
switchback make our
determination even
stronger. Finally, we
burst through a stand of
pines and----we're at the
summit! The immensity of
the view is overwhelming,
and ultimately humbling.
A brief coda, while we
sit dazed on the rocks,
ends the movement in a
feeling of triumph. The
final movement, Acadia,
is also about a trip. In
the summer of 2014, I
took a sailing trip with
a dear friend from North
Haven, Maine, to the
southern coast of Mt.
Desert Island in Acadia
National Park. The
experience left me both
exuberant and exhausted,
with an appreciation for
the ocean that I hadn't
had previously. The
approach to Acadia
National Park by water,
too, was thrilling: like
the difference between
climbing a mountain on
foot with riding up on a
ski-lift, I felt I'd
earned the right to be
there. The music for this
movement is entirely
based on the opening
UR-theme. There's a sense
of the water and the
mysterious, quiet deep
from the very beginning,
with seagulls and bell
buoys setting the scene.
As we leave the harbor,
the theme (in a canon
between solo euphonium
and tuba) almost seems as
if large subaquatic
animals are observing our
departure. There are
three themes (call them
A, B and C) in this
seafaring journey---but
they are all based on the
UR theme, in its original
form with octaves
displaced, in an
upside-down form, and in
a backwards version as
well. (The ocean, while
appearing to be
unchanging, is always
changing.) We move out
into the main channel
(A), passing several
islands (B), until we
reach the long draw that
parallels the coastline
called Eggemoggin Reach,
and a sudden burst of new
speed (C). Things
suddenly stop, as if the
wind had died, and we
have a vision: is that
really Mt. Desert Island
we can see off the port
bow, vaguely in the
distance? A chorale of
saxophones seems to
suggest that. We push off
anew as the chorale ends,
and go through all three
themes again---but in
different
instrumentations, and
different keys. At the
final tack-turn, there it
is, for real: Mt. Desert
Island, big as life.
We've made it. As we pull
into the harbor, where
we'll secure the boat for
the night, there's a
feeling of achievement.
Our whale and dolphin
friends return, and we
end our journey with
gratitude and
celebration. I am
profoundly grateful to

at the University of
Georgia, for leading the
consortium which provided

describes not just that
huge park itself, but one
brave soul's attempt to
climb a mountain there.
It begins with three
iterations of the
UR-theme (which began the
first movement as well),
but this time as up-tempo
brass fanfares in
octaves. Each time it
begins again, the theme
is a little slower and
less confident than the
previous time---almost as
though the hiker were
becoming aware of the
daunting mountain before
him. But then, a steady,
quick-pulsed ostinato
appears, in a constantly
shifting meter system of
2/4- 3/4 in alteration,
and the hike has begun.
Over this, a slower new
melody appears, as the
trek up the mountain
progresses. It's a big
mountain, and the ascent
seems to take quite
awhile, with little
breaks in the hiker's
stride, until at length
he simply must stop and
rest. An oboe solo, over
several free cadenza-like
measures, allows us (and
our friend the hiker) to
catch our breath, and
also to view in the
distance the rocky peak
before us. The goal is
somehow even more
daunting than at first,
being closer and thus
more frighteningly steep.
When we do push off
again, it's at a slower
pace, and with more
careful attention to our
footholds as we trek over
broken rocks. Tantalizing
little views of the
valley at every
switchback make our
determination even
stronger. Finally, we
burst through a stand of
pines and----we're at the
summit! The immensity of
the view is overwhelming,
and ultimately humbling.
A brief coda, while we
sit dazed on the rocks,
ends the movement in a
feeling of triumph. The
final movement, Acadia,
is also about a trip. In
the summer of 2014, I
took a sailing trip with
a dear friend from North
Haven, Maine, to the
southern coast of Mt.
Desert Island in Acadia
National Park. The
experience left me both
exuberant and exhausted,
with an appreciation for
the ocean that I hadn't
had previously. The
approach to Acadia
National Park by water,
too, was thrilling: like
the difference between
climbing a mountain on
foot with riding up on a
ski-lift, I felt I'd
earned the right to be
there. The music for this
movement is entirely
based on the opening
UR-theme. There's a sense
of the water and the
mysterious, quiet deep
from the very beginning,
with seagulls and bell
buoys setting the scene.
As we leave the harbor,
the theme (in a canon
between solo euphonium
and tuba) almost seems as
if large subaquatic
animals are observing our
departure. There are
three themes (call them
A, B and C) in this
seafaring journey---but
they are all based on the
UR theme, in its original
form with octaves
displaced, in an
upside-down form, and in
a backwards version as
well. (The ocean, while
appearing to be
unchanging, is always
changing.) We move out
into the main channel
(A), passing several
islands (B), until we
reach the long draw that
parallels the coastline
called Eggemoggin Reach,
and a sudden burst of new
speed (C). Things
suddenly stop, as if the
wind had died, and we
have a vision: is that
really Mt. Desert Island
we can see off the port
bow, vaguely in the
distance? A chorale of
saxophones seems to
suggest that. We push off
anew as the chorale ends,
and go through all three
themes again---but in
different
instrumentations, and
different keys. At the
final tack-turn, there it
is, for real: Mt. Desert
Island, big as life.
We've made it. As we pull
into the harbor, where
we'll secure the boat for
the night, there's a
feeling of achievement.
Our whale and dolphin
friends return, and we
end our journey with
gratitude and
celebration. I am
profoundly grateful to

c teachers know their
students don’t
just learn to play music,
they are also exposed to
universal life skills
along the way. But
that’s just part
of the story. Currently,
most students are largely
left to learn these
universal
skills—like
problem-solving,
patience, focus,
collaboration, critical
thinking, creativity, and
communication—on
their own and often not
very effectively. The
Transposed Musician is a
practical guide to
teaching these universal
skills within the context
of a traditional music
lesson. The results not
only empower students to
better confront the
challenges of the
twenty-first century,
they significantly
improve
musicianship—a
double benefit. Author
Dylan Savage spent two
decades refining his
approach to teaching
universal skills through
music, and he shares them
in this book. Each of the
eight chapters of The
Transposed Musician
focuses on a specific
universal skill
(problem-solving, focus,
patience, critical
thinking, communication,
collaboration,
improvisation, and
creativity) and shows how
students can apply that
skill to music. He then
shows how teachers can
guide those students to
“transposeâ€
that skill to life and
back again to music with
far deeper understanding
and musicianship. With
practical examples and
clear writing, this book
is for music educators
wishing to help their
students become both
better musicians and also
better-equipped citizens
of the world. Students
truly become
“transposed
musicians†for life
and for music. Dylan
Savage is Associate
Professor of Piano at the
University of North
Carolina–Charlotte
. He is also a
Bösendorfer Concert
Artist, a Capstone
Records Recording Artist,
and a winner of the Rome
Festival Orchestra
Competition.
https://thetransposedmusi
cian.com/ This book is
priceless and contains a
wealth of music teaching
information that every
teacher should apply to
their studio. Dylan
Savage’s use of
universal skills
transforms music teaching
into a viable and
essential part of
education in the
twenty-first-century.
This teaching approach of
using universal skills
can revolutionize
teaching music in both
the private studio and
college level and will
give teachers a greater
sense of purpose and
satisfaction in their
work. This book
challenges many
preconceived ideas about
teaching music and
mastering performance.
Bravo for shaking up the
status quo.
—Randall Hartsell
  Composer,
Clinician, Teacher This
book asks and explores
fascinating questions
about what it means to
study music in a changing
world. Are there skills
we can learn in our music
lessons which can enrich
our lives in
other non-musical
areas, and then can we
bring those expanded
skills back into our
study of music itself?
Too often our
conservatories are
dead-ends, stuck with
outdated, one-dimensional
approaches which can lead
to stunted personal
development. This book
suggests ways in which we
can break down doors, for
students and teachers
alike, and celebrate
music as something
life-affirming, in and
out of the studio.
—Stephen Hough
  Pianist,
Composer, Writer Dylan
Savage has given us a
fresh and creative
pedagogy to guide our
music students toward
life as
twenty-first-century
musicians. His career as
pianist and teacher, and
his firsthand experience
in the marketplace of
business and industry,
allow him to forge a
systematic approach to
teaching universal skills
in the music lesson. In
each of the eight
chapters, skills such as
problem-solving, focus,
critical thinking,
collaboration, and
improvisation are defined
and applied to musical
skills. These in turn are
“transposedâ€
to non-musical
applications. We observe
the music lessons and the
active
“transpositionâ€
or transfer of
universal skills
exemplified through
descriptions of
particular lessons. The
anxieties, confusions,
and ultimate comfort and
understanding of students
are guided by the
questions of the teacher.
The book is beautifully
organized and is enriched
by quotations of artists,
musicians and
philosophers, and
suggested readings and
references. I really
think this is an
important and helpful
book with a point of view
that is much needed. The
empathy and knowledge of
the author steer the
reader toward the
realities of
today’s musical
world, a world that
requires skilled
musicians to have
universal skills that
benefit their lives,
regardless of their
ultimate career paths.

In The Transposed
Musician, Dylan Savage
combines a
visionary’s deep
understanding of the
challenges music students
and teachers face with an
eminently practical way
to meet those challenges.
Using a master
teacher’s insight,
Savage
“transposesâ€
eight potential stumbling
blocks into eight
universal skills that can
be acquired through a
beautifully organized,
step-by-step approach. In
turn, he shows how these
skills can be applied to
other areas in our
rapidly changing world,
helping us lead more
satisfying, meaningful,
and fulfilling lives, not
only as musicians, but as
human beings. For
students and teachers
alike, an inspired and
inspiring book.

Transposed Musician is an
important contribution to
our literature on
teaching essential life
skills including
problem-solving,
patience, focus, critical
thinking, and creativity
within the traditional
music lesson. Teachers
and students both can
benefit from the study
and application of these
skills. Applications are
made both to the
traditional lesson as
well as to non-music
applications.
—Jane Magrath Â
 Pianist, Author,
Teacher  Â
University of Oklahoma
Twenty-five hundred years
ago Plato recommended
music first in his ideal
curriculum for potential
leaders of
Athens—before
sport, mathematics, and
moral philosophy. None of
his candidates, one may
assume, aspired to become
a professional musician.
Nevertheless, throughout
centuries, otherwise
people have acknowledged
that the study and
practice of music
generates collateral
benefits essential to
human fulfillment. In his
new book The
Transposed Musician,
Professor Dylan Savage of
the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte
identifies eight of these
benefits—Problem
Solving, Focus, Patience,
Critical Thinking,
Communication,
Collaboration,
Improvisation, and
Creativity—and
calls them
“universal
skills†which may
be developed consciously
and systematically within
the context of
traditional music
lessons. Doing so takes
what has been implicit
all along and makes it
explicit. Music is good
for us! Music teachers,
even at the highest
conservatory level, learn
from Professor Savage
that they are not so much
professional trainers as
guides to a happier, more
successful life.
—Dr. Joseph

 Successful author,
teacher, producer, and
arts advocate Savage's
excellent book couldn't
be more timely, unique,
clear, full of wisdom,
and exactly what we need.
As he points out, music
teachers have known for
generations—in a
rather generalized
way—that musical
skills can strengthen
life skills in many ways.
Dylan Savage is the first
to address this
'transposition'
intentionally, with
specific exercises in the
transferrable skills.
What better gift could
there be for music
students facing an
ever-changing world?
