The Woodwinds: Perform, Understand, Teach provides comprehensive
coverage about the woodwind family of musical instruments for
prospective instrumental music teachers. What sets this book apart
is its focus on how to teach the instruments. Preparing students in
the how of teaching is the ultimate goal of the woodwind class and
the ultimate goal of this book, which organizes information by its
use in teaching beginning instrumentalists. In developing
performance and understanding, pre-service teachers are positioned
to learn to teach through performance-contrasted with an
"old-school" belief that one must first spend much time tediously
trying to understand how things work before playing the
instruments. The book is organized in three parts: Preliminaries,
Teaching the Instruments, and Foundations. Chapters in Teaching the
Instruments are organized by instrument (flute, clarinet,
saxophone, oboe, bassoon) and, within each instrument, according to
how an effective teacher might organize experiences for novice
learners. Basic embouchure and air stream are covered first,
followed by instrument assembly, then hands and holding. Embouchure
coverage returns in greater depth, then articulation, and finally
"the mechanism," which includes sections on the instruments of the
family, transposition, range, special fingerings, tuning and
intonation, and reeds. In Foundations, topics are situated in big
picture contexts, calling attention to the broad applicability of
information across instruments.

The Highland bagpipe has long been a central strand of Scottish
identity, but what happened to the Highland bagpipe in the two
centuries following Culloden? How was its music transmitted and
received? This study presents contemporary evidence and uses a
range of methods to recreate the changing world of the pipers as
they influenced and were influenced by the transformation in
Scottish society. This book is intended for pipers exploring the
achievements and musical concerns of their predecessors; for the
general reader interested in a music whose history is akin to that
of Scotland's poetry and song; and for all students of the process
of tradition.Combining newspaper and manuscript evidence from the
pipers themselves with a wide range of historical sources, the
author harnesses the insights of the practical player to those of
the historian and provides a fresh account of the players and their
musical traditions, which have previously been the subject of much
myth-making. This is the first history of the musical culture of
the worldwide piping community.
Laila Storch is a world-renowned oboist in her own right, but her
book honors Marcel Tabuteau, one of the greatest figures in
twentieth-century music. Tabuteau studied the oboe from an early
age at the Paris Conservatoire and was brought to the United States
in 1905, by Walter Damrosch, to play with the New York Symphony
Orchestra. Although this posed a problem for the national
musicians' union, he was ultimately allowed to stay, and the rest,
as they say, is history. Eventually moving to Philadelphia,
Tabuteau played in the Philadelphia Orchestra and taught at the
Curtis Institute of Music, ultimately revamping the oboe world with
his performance, pedagogical, and reed-making techniques. In 1941,
Storch auditioned for Tabuteau at the Curtis Institute, but was
rejected because of her gender. After much persistence and several
cross-country bus trips, she was eventually accepted and began a
life of study with Tabuteau. Blending archival research with
personal anecdotes, and including access to rare recordings of
Tabuteau and Waldemar Wolsing, Storch tells a remarkable story in
an engaging style.
