Brian Frederiksen spent several years gathering material from Jacobs’ masterclasses, previously published writings and contributions from his students and colleagues as well as interviewing Jacobs, himself, to write this definitive book on the master’s career from the earliest days as a boy in the Los Angeles area through his appearance at the 1995 Tuba\/Euphonium Conference at Northwestern University.

An entire chapter is devoted to York tubas, another to Jacobs’ studio through the years, and another to biographies of all the conductors of the Chicago Symphony including major guest conductors. There is even a sub-chapter on every renovation Chicago’s Orchestra Hall received during Jacobs’ tenure. The lists and detailed information go on and on.

The chapters on Jacobs’ teaching philosophy and the physical and mental elements of performance are a blend of the best available information on his teaching. Most of us who have ever taken a private lesson have been influenced to some degree by Arnold Jacobs. In this book, however, all the pieces are put into place in a fashion not available anywhere else. If there is perhaps one aspect of this book that is not stellar to this reader, it is that sometimes the information is so detailed, not only in the teaching chapters but throughout the book, that it is very easy to lose sight of the point of discussion. I found myself rereading chapters several times to gain new insight into the man and teacher. As a tribute to one of our most respected colleagues, it represents a synthesis of the best we all aspire to.

This lovingly-told book chronicles his life – as a symphony player and as a teacher – and his interaction with so many remarkable musicians over one of the most impressive professional careers in American music. Frederiksen has provided a wealth of detail about every aspect of this man’s career, the members of the sections in which he played, the recordings he made, profiles of the conductors and other superb brass players he worked with, and, above all, the man’s approach to teaching brass performance in particular. The first 88 pages catalog his career. The next hundred pages or so, the heart of the book, deal with his studio teaching, his methods, his materials, his philosophy – all the stuff of a true legend – and not just for tuba players either! The remaining section of the book provides some fascinating, detailed lists of brass sections, recording projects, a Jacobs discography, and other related documentation. This is a handsome production, as well, fully worthy of the man who is justly honored within its pages.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Windsong Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078743703740,"sku":null,"price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/0779\/7948\/files\/ArnoldJacobsSongandWindBook.jpg?v=1786556745"},{"product_id":"also-sprach-book","title":"Also Sprach Arnold Jacobs A Developmental Guide for Brass Musicians","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlso Sprach Arnold Jacobs A Developmental Guide for Brass Wind Musicians\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompiled by Bruce Nelson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn addition to being an outstanding musician, Arnold Jacobs undoubtedly was the most influential brass teacher of the second half of the twentieth century. Countless brass (and other) musicians from all over the world traveled to Chicago to study with this master. Additionally, Mr. Jacobs also gave master classes that were popular with students, teachers and professionals in many different locations. Even if it were all known, it would be impossible to reduce to writing all of the advice Arnold Jacobs gave to thousands of students over a period of almost 70 years. Nevertheless, this book is an attempt to preserve in writing, by topic, the common ideas and variations of those ideas from which so many musicians have benefited. Bruce Nelson´s book comes in six chapters. Each chapter deals with one central aspect of brass playing: ISBN 9781640071964\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eChapter I: Concepts Fundamental to Development\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eChapter II: Mental Controls\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eChapter III: The Vibrating Embouchure\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eChapter IV: Breathing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eChapter V: Articulating\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eChapter VI: Practicing and Performing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppendix A – “Special Studies” by Arnold Jacobs printed from Hal Leonard Method 1963\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppendix B – Use of Breathing Devices (reprinted from Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Windsong Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078744293564,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/0779\/7948\/files\/AlsoSprachArnoldJacobs.jpg?v=1786555898"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/0779\/7948\/collections\/AJ_Mahler_5_CSO_Solti.png?v=1786891994","url":"https:\/\/chi-brass.myshopify.com\/collections\/arnold-jacobs-collection.oembed","provider":"CHI Brass","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
