Hi Gary, I don't know much about the Singer and Schantl books, but I do use the Dufrasne book every day. I have found that it is quite effective in promoting a relaxed/flexible lip and the right speed of air. The only fault that I have found with it is that it does not have any articulation exercises except for the arpeggios at the end. I supplement the arpeggios at the end with "K bells" which is a power exercise originally by Mr. William Klingelhoffer and given to me by Professor Bacon. If you are looking for other books like the Dufrasne, I would suggest the Standley Routine, the Douglas Hill book, or the Teuber book.
Joel Hi, I would like to hear (read) some opinions regarding a few method books: Singer Dufrasne Schantl I already know what I think of them. I'm curious what others think.
