### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Reading for Aspiring Trumpet Players
*by B***B on December 15, 2013*

I vacillated between 4 stars and 5 for this book, but in the end, I've got to say it's the most useful of all the things I have read over the last 55 years in terms of value and explanation. Arban and Clarke both give largely the same advice, but it somehow doesn't come through as clearly. Gordon's title immediately puts the focus on wind control and the guidance in the text helps make it understandable.So what's wrong with this book? It's a bit thin--both in number of pages, and in the depth of development. The author pursues (somewhat unnecessarily in my opinion) a lengthy tangent dismissing the diaphragm and diaphragm control, which may be an important distinction to the medical doctor who wrote the supplemental essay on the diaphragm, but which comes across as a semantic argument rather than one of great substance.In the end, the book drives home one message (breathe deeply, control your air) and manages to debunk a number of errors which many of us have pursued (the quest for the mouthpiece, for example). It was useful to me, I think it will be useful to most of you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From one of the contemporary masters of brass playing and instruction!
*by J***D on June 9, 2014*

This book has exceeded my expectations! The information is written with great clarity, and in expected order, sequence, and comprehensiveness. Although Claude Gordon is a trumpeter, as a Horn player of over 60 years, I found the information well worth the close reading of this book. I would recommend it to all brass musicians, especially beginners, as it is easier to build good habits at the beginning than to try to correct bad habits later.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this work by Mr
*by C***. on December 28, 2017*

Love this work by Mr. Claude Gordon. This is a method of instruction that is a must read for all aspiring brass wind players. This books gives an in-depth look at the requirements of playing a brass wind instrument and the necessary knowledge of wind and breath support in forming notes and getting the proper sound from your instrument. A great book by a legendary musician, teacher, and performer.
