Hi folks,
We are presenting the real truth about how we breathe and how our brain/body
does its job. Part of that job for us is horn playing. More jobs for the brain
are walking, talking and singing songs. Does it need help from us? Is horn
playing really al that difficult, or do we just make it that way?
Monday June 20
1:30 PM Special Presentation, McKenna Theatre
Brian Frederiksen: “Arnold Jacobs Almost Live - The Teacher” explores
Physiology, Psychology, and Musicianship of Brass Playing. Arnold Jacobs was
one of the most sought after and revered teachers of his time. He was probably
most famous for his work with breathing, but his musicianship and his knowledge
of how the body actually processes our musical expression into physical acts is
equally as important.
Mr. Frederiksen was Jacobs’ long-time assistant and has worked with the Jacobs
family to preserve the Jacobs legacy. He gives all of us a chance to experience
the master teacher with video clips of his lectures and master classes. If you
studied with “Jake” this will be a refresher course. If you did not, you will
soon see how his knowledge, perception and communication skills helped so many
people on all wind instruments.
The video presentation will be followed by a panel discussion led by Gail
Williams and featuring tubaist Forrest Byram, both Jacobs students. Others are
welcome to share stories, experiences and observations.
