Hello Everyone.
(I posted this on the new site but I don't know if people have started moving over yet so I'll post it here too.)
This semester I'm doing an Independent Study Project on entitled an "Overview of Tuba-Euphonium Methods Courses in the University System and Their effectiveness in preparing Middle School and High School Music Educators" It's a small section of my DMA project. I was wondering how many college professors out there teach Low Brass methods as part of their work load or assign the class to a tuba-euphonium TA. I have a quick email survey if anyone wants to take part. The more college educators the more in depth the study will be. You can email me privately to avoid cluter.
To start a thread on Sean's new format, I wanted to get your opinion on an Ideal Tuba-Euphonium Methods Course. What would you focus on in your class. Playing, Trouble Shooting, History?
Also, what are your opinions/experiences with methods courses in general?
This could be interesting.
Thanks for your help
