Best Available - Wish there were more I use this text extensively in my woodwind class. The double reed sections are excellent. The saxophone section is fine, but a bit short on information. There are several inaccuracies in the flute section (scientific, historical), and our flute professor disagrees with the information on embouchure and technique. The clarinet section is also weak. The author has some strange ideas on teaching embouchure and ot. A Customer said Fine Overview, with few inaccuracies. Woodwind players are much like trumpet players' about their mouthpieces, or violinists' about their strings.each has an opinion. The separate authors who write the wwodwind chapters, also have their opinions, a few tricks and techniques that are not mainstream, but clearly would work for most people. The best Woodwind Technque book on the market.. Mark Petelin said Great Reference. Excellent overall information that is very helpful but misses some troubleshooting problems especially with flutes.
