Read
below what Roger Smith
had to say about
completing this
momumental work from the
manuscripts of Ernest
Williams. We are all
thankful for his hard
work: 'The Ernest S.
Williams Modern Method
for Trumpet or Cornet is
generally recognized by
teachers and students
alike as the finest and
most complete ' School '
for Trumpet and Cornett
hat has ever been
written. Both the
technical and the musical
aspects of these volumes
reflect the genius of Dr.
Williams as a musician,
and as a teacher.' 'I was
privileged to study both
Trombone and Baritone
with Dr. Williams, in
fact he was my only
teacher on either
instrument. After
graduation from the
Ernest Williams School of
Music, I became a member
of the faculty, and
assisted Dr. Williams
with the teaching of
Brasses, under his direct
guidance, and using this
material. Dr. Williams
commenced the revision of
the books at that time
for Trombone and
Baritone, a task which he
was never to complete.
This revision, based
largely on his
manuscripts, is the
result of my training as
his pupil and assistant,
and of my experience as
teacher of Trombone at
the Juilliard School of
Music.' 'The principal
problems were two; proper
introduction of the
positions on the
trombone, which are more
difficul to learn than
the valve combinations on
Baritone or Trumpet, and
the contrasting
techniques of legato and
slur on the two
instruments. For these
reasons some chapters of
the book have been
revised considerably, and
some new material added
from time to time.' If
you do not know this
book, you have to take a
look.
