A Tabuteau Refresher
A chronological look at the life of Marcel Tabuteau with emphasis on his teaching of phrasing.
The Curious Life of Nicolas Slonimsky
Who was this guy who influenced everyone from Coltrane to Zappa, and put Ives and Varèse on the map?
Circular Breathing Demystified
Circular breathing was historically a technique used by oboists. It's really not so difficult!
