Maximizing Your Studio's Potential™ - Required Books for Testing

This instructor's manual; which is the companion to The Student Log Book: Brass includes the methodology, expected outcomes, interpretation and scheduling of the entire program. A unique set of Measurable Skills Tests were written to be paired with the Arban or the Kopprasch method books, which for the first time allow the instructor to measure the student's abilities on a scale of 1-5 for each skill area. These tests correspond with the Measurable Skills section of the assessments from the Student Log Book: Brass.

Make sure that you have the correct Arban or Kopprasch method book by reviewing the list below. The instructor must have access to one of the following in order to administer the test:

TRUMPET
Arban Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet, Carl Fischer, Inc. (1936 or 1982 editions).

TUBA

[The 1996 edition has different pagination and was redesigned for the 2000 edition to reduce page turns]
