Aprašymas

The Woodwinds: Perform, Understand, Teach provides comprehensive coverage pertaining to the woodwind family of musical instruments for prospective instrumental music teachers. What sets this book apart is its focus on "how" to teach the instruments. Preparing students in the "how" of teaching is the ultimate goal of the woodwind class, and is facilitated by book experiences that organize the information around its use in teaching beginning instrumentalists.

Effective teaching prioritizes active learning, therefore, those who use this textbook are led quickly to play or perform. "Performance" supplemented by good instruction leads to "understanding." In developing performance and understanding, pre-service teachers are positioned to learn to "teach" contrasted with an "old-school" belief that one must first spend much time tediously trying to understand how things work "before" playing the instruments. The concentrates on two broad categories surrounding woodwind study Foundations and Mechanics. In Foundations, a topic is situated in a big picture context, calling attention to the broad applicability of information across instruments, anchored in core matters.

The Mechanics are organized by instrument (flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon) and, within each instrument, according to how an effective teacher might organized experiences for novice learners. Basic embouchure and air stream are covered first, followed by instrument assembly, then hands and holding. Embouchure coverage returns in greater depth, then articulation, and finally "the mechanism," which includes sections on the instruments of the family, transposition, range, special fingerings, tuning and intonation, and reeds."
