Staff Review

In my opinion, this book is a must have! I keep going back to it every so often and I’ve owned my copy for well over 10 years! Even if you don’t have an ambition to play in the altissimo register, I’d still recommend this book because Rascher’s exercises are excellent for building lip strength, endurance, and overall tone quality.  – Oren Gurney ([email protected])
