The History Of Raymond, Alberta, Canada, Holger B.C. Tychsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A study of the basic performance techniques used by cornet and trumpet specialists and the common problems encountered by cornet and trumpet players was made through reference to personal experience, personal interviews, and articles in journals, magazines, bulletins, and books.

It was found that there is usually more than one solution to a problem, and that each solution given must be individualized to meet each player's needs. Most of the problems players encounter can be prevented if one uses correct playing procedures while playing a …
