Since 1925, Richard Shuebruk’s three publications devoted to tongue training have served to teach brass players how to build a fast, powerful articulation through careful development of the musculature. This collection combines all three levels of the classic Shuebruk volumes into one complete treatise on the art of tonguing that should be an essential part of the training of every brass player.Developing quality articulation is one of the most important aspects of playing a brass instrument. Since 1925, Richard Shuebruk's three publications on the subject of tongue training have served to teach thousands of brass players how to build a fast powerful articulation through musculature development. Shuebruk calls for accuracy through slow, patient work on first the single staccato and then the double and triple staccato.This collection, for the first time, combines all three levels of the Shuebruk texts into one complete treatise on the art of tonguing, which will become the seminal method by which brass players study the art. Though these exercises sometimes seem daunting, Shuebruk advises the student to take it slowly and methodically. To this end, Shuebruk states in his Preface to Grade 2, "There is no shame in playing slowly and neatly. There is no pride in playing quickly and slovenly."From my own experience as a brass player, the fine art of clean, precise articulation was elusive. Hours of practice were devoted to improving the quality of the stroke while not damaging the quality of the tone. I am confident that this collection will enable you to realize Richard Shuebruk's goal, which was to build power and strength in the tongue while improving the gentle quality of the staccato tone.
