Trumpets and Other High Brass: A History Inspired by the Joe R. and Joella F. Utley Collection. Volume 4: Heyday of the Cornet by Sabine Katharina Klaus (review)

Abstract

educators, specifically trumpet players. The material in the first chapters is brief and could use more context and detail to establish Johnson's relationship with music at an early age and describe his early performances and experiences. Hunsaker engages the reader through stories and firsthand accounts, however, and these primary sources and personal narratives provide successful development of the subject. It is well suited for any high school, college, or adult trumpet player interested in learning more about a dedicated teacher and improving their trumpet teaching or performance level.
