Product Review
Wind Talk for Woodwinds provides instrumental music teachers, practitioners, and students with a handy, easy-to-use pedagogical resource for woodwind instruments found in school instrumental programs. With thorough coverage of the most common woodwind instruments - flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, and bassoon - the book offers the most topical and information necessary for effective teaching. This includes terminology, topics, and concepts associated with each specific instrument, along with teaching suggestions that can be applied in the classroom. Be sure to look to the back of the book for a "Practical Tips" section, which discusses common technical faults and corrections, common problems with sound (as well as their causes and solutions to them), fingering charts, literature lists (study materials, method books, and solos), as well as a list of additional resources relevant to teaching woodwind instruments (articles, websites, audio recordings). Without question, Wind Talk for Woodwinds stands alone as an invaluable resource for woodwinds!

This review is from: Wind Talk for Woodwinds: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Teaching Woodwind Instruments (Paperback)
Wow!!!! What a wealth of knowledge. I'm a music instructor and I bought this book based on some of the ratings. I have to say that this book lives up to them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to get some very detailed information about the woodwind instruments.
