Eitt sindur um Kristian Stenstrup:

Published at Aarhus University Press

Ass. Professor of trumpet at The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus Kristian Steenstrup has published the book Teaching Brass, which is a scientific exposition on brass tecnique and - pedagogy.


"Kristian Steenstrup's Teaching Brass is a most comprehensive and detailed treatise on the pedagogical requirements associated with sound principles of performance on a brass instrument. His treatment of the laws of physics, physiology and psychology provides a wonderful guide to the interrelationship of these disciplines in performance practice. His research and documentation are impressive and I believe this volume to be a worthy addition to this field of study."

Vincent Cichowicz, Professor Emeritus, Northwestern University, Former member, Chicago Symphony Orchestra.


"I recommend every wind player includes Teaching Brass in his or her library. Kristian Steentrup has done the hard work of researching the physiological aspects of wind playing for you. This book will give you a very comprehensive view of what is necessary and I think more importantly what is not necessary to play a wind instrument.

John Henes, certified Alexander Teacher, former ass. Principal Trumpet. Chicago Lyric Opera.


"In my opinion, Teaching Brass by Kristian Steenstrup is the most complete and comprehensive work available to date on the art of brass teaching and playing. The explanations and analysis of the science of brass playing are clear, concise and accessible and the text flows with structure and congruency. Its content challenges many of the 'accepted' concepts and language of previous writings and methods and I believe that it makes available the knowledge to enable any brass player to perform with the ease of a master player. This should be on every brass teachers bookcase!"

Nick Thompson, Head of Wind and Percussion Department at the London College of Music.


"At last the book all brass- and woodwind teachers have been looking for! This book demystifies some of the old brass- and woodwind teaching methods. It comes with sharp and clear facts about hos the body, lip and brain work and how you can achieve tremendous results as a brass player. The book is a must for all brass- and woodwind players as well as their teachers."

Jonas Haltia, trumpet, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra.
