Collaborative Practice Concepts contains creative ideas for practicing together (two or more trumpets/treble clef instruments) using new and standard exercises. The ultimate goal is to provide the opportunity for healthy fundamentals and performance habits to be established in a group collaborative setting.
This collection is ideal for the studio teacher looking for a "system" to build camaraderie, teams and musical traditions within the studio, as well as students, come-back players and others who enjoy practicing together with a game-like approach. Examples and studies are included for group Warm-ups, Lead Pipe Practice, Just Intonation Concepts and Games, Rhythm Games, Boppers (accuracy games) and Fitness Tests.
Other topics include Teaching Beginners, Building Musical Teams, The Cycle of All Things & the Project Driven Career, and The Future of the Music Industry & the Prospects for Employment for Teachers & Performers.
