Song and Wind

Excerpted from Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind by Brian Frederiksen

One of Jacobs’ most famous phrases is Song and Wind. During his lecture at the 1995 International Brassfest in Bloomington, Indiana, he explained:

“My approach to music is expressed as Song and Wind. This is very important to communicate a musical message to the audience.

Excerpts from International Trumpet Guild Journal, May 1998. Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind by Brian Frederiksen, is clearly a labor of love. In 1974, the author began studying with Arnold Jacobs, and the result was a lifetime of devotion to his mentor.

This approach is one of simplicity as the structure and function of the human being is very complex, but we function in a simple manner. When we bring it to the art form it becomes very simple.

Song, to me, involves about 85 percent of the intellectual concentration of playing an instrument, based on what you want the audience to hear.

You cannot get anywhere without wind. If you think of a car, the wheels will not turn without an energy source–the engine. Brass players must have a source of energy as there must be a vibrating column of air for the instrument to amplify and resonate. The musical engine is the vibration of the lips. However, the lips cannot vibrate without wind.

When we combine Song and Wind, the musical message, song, is the principal element comprising 85 percent of the consciousness. The remaining 15 percent is the application of the breath, wind, to fuel the vibration of the lips.”

Adolph Herseth puts it another way, ‘You have to start with a very precise sense of how something should sound. Then, instinctively, you modify your lip and your breathing and the pressure of the horn to obtain that sound.’

Wind is the energy source used to fuel the conceptual message of the song from the brain. His emphasis of Song and Wind shows how much importance Jacobs gives to musical conception. ‘Study the product, not the method. Mentalize music by making statements, not by asking questions.’

Arnold Jacobs is one of the true legendary teachers and performers of all time. That he also plays the tuba makes that fact all more the sweet. Brian Frederiksen spent several years gathering material from Jacobs’ masterclasses, previously published writings and contributions from his students and colleagues as well as interviewing Jacobs, himself, to write this definitive book on the master’s career from the earliest days as a boy in the Los Angeles area through his appearance at the 1995 Tuba/Euphonium Conference at Northwestern University. John Taylor has done a masterful job putting the copious amount of material into readable form and Frederiksen also has generously devoted five entire pages to personnel who helped provide information and source material for this book.

In addition to a detailed and exhaustive biography, this book also contains a plethora of material not only exhaustively detailing virtually every aspect of Jacobs’ teaching but also a seemingly inexhaustible supply of information associated with him. Information such as a list of every brass player who ever played in the Chicago Symphony and a listing of every recording Arnold Jacobs made either with a symphony or as a soloist or chamber musician help put his astonishing career into perspective. An entire chapter is devoted to York tubas, another to Jacobs’ studio through the years, and another to biographies of all the conductors of the Chicago Symphony including major guest conductors. There is even a sub-chapter on every renovation Chicago’s Orchestra Hall received during Jacobs’ tenure. The lists and detailed information go on and on. Frederiksen has not only managed to capture the essence of one of the greatest musicians to influence generations of brass performers, but he also provided a truly meaningful historical perspective and backdrop to Jacobs’ career.

Another facet of this book that is most gratifying to this reviewer is the careful research and documentation of the information Frederiksen was able to collect. The author providing over 20 pages of end notes, each referenced with the exact primary source consulted. The bibliography alone is eight pages long. A name and a subject index are included for easy reference to a particular person or topic in the book.

Other appealing aspects of this book include a very generous allocation of space for pictures of Jacobs, his wife, his colleagues and friends, tubas, teaching equipment, as well as many medical illustrations to help visualize his teaching. Graphs, charts, and diagrams are also used to illustrate points Jacobs makes about particular facets of his teaching.

What can this book do for the student and brass teacher? The chapters on Jacobs’ teaching philosophy and the physical and mental elements of performance are a blend of the best available information on his teaching. Most of us who have ever taken a private lesson have been influenced to some degree by Arnold Jacobs. In this book, however, all the pieces are put into place in a fashion not available anywhere else. If there is perhaps one aspect of this book that is not stellar to this reader, it is that sometimes the information is so detailed, not only in the teaching chapters but throughout the book, that it is very easy to lose sight of the point of discussion. I found myself rereading chapters several times to gain new insight into the man and teacher. As a tribute to one of our most respected colleagues, it represents a synthesis of the best we all aspire to. I know I will be reading out of this book for the rest of my life for myself and for my students.

Excerpts from Journal of the International Horn Society, February 1997

This book is full of anecdotal praise for all of the accomplishments and the vast influences rendered by Mr. Jacobs, perhaps to an extreme. One does not need to overly justify the importance of such a book as this.

It is the extensive and useful materials within the chapters titled: Teacher, Physical Elements, Mental Elements, Performance, and part of the chapter on Instruments that I wish to recommend for all horn players and teachers. Through a thorough study of these nearly eighty pages of brilliant, insightful, helpful, and well-written lessons, we all can learn new ways to do what we need to do both physiologically and philosophically as performers, or at least new ways to say it as teachers. This book compiles the most important philosophical principles, basic tenets, and quotes of Arnold Jacobs. That fact alone should explain why these chapters should be required reading.

The Brass Band Bridge, December 1977

Arnold Jacobs was principal tuba of the Chicago Symphony for nearly half a century. This lovingly-told book chronicles his life – as a symphony player and as a teacher – and his interaction with so many remarkable musicians over one of the most impressive professional careers in American music. Frederiksen has provided a wealth of detail about every aspect of this man’s career, the members of the sections in which he played, the recordings he made, profiles of the conductors and other superb brass players he worked with, and, above all, the man’s approach to teaching brass performance in particular. The first 88 pages catalog his career. The next hundred pages or so, the heart of the book, deal with his studio teaching, his methods, his materials, his philosophy – all the stuff of a true legend – and not just for tuba players either! The remaining section of the book provides some fascinating, detailed lists of brass sections, recording projects, a Jacobs discography, and other related documentation. This is a handsome production, as well, fully worthy of the man who is justly honored within its pages.

Excerpts from International Trumpet Guild Journal, May 1998

Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind by Brian Frederiksen, is clearly a labor of love. In 1974, the author began studying with Arnold Jacobs, and the result was a lifetime of devotion to his mentor. The frailty of the octogenarian master led the student to take on the task of chronicling Jacobs’ personal and professional evolution.

Overall, the substance of the book reflects a studious yet personalized analysis of an extensive compilation of information. Included are quotes from Jacobs, a discography, and a listing of brass personnel in various ensembles with which Jacobs was associated. Other researchers will benefit from the extensive references.

Structurally, the book proceeds in chronological fashion, describing Jacobs’ early development, years at the Curtis Institute, performing stints with various ensembles, and retirement. Also included are brief essays on others, such as conductors. The latter half of the book delves into Jacobs’ views on teaching, the physical and mental aspects of performance, instruments, and the favored York tuba. Descriptions of his studios and the various devices (e.g., breath builder, incentive spirometer, oscilloscope) that he used for teaching and developing performance ability add to the detail of the text.

One positive aspect of the book is that it is unquestionably authoritative. The author provides countless details that allow the reader to acquire considerable knowledge about Arnold Jacobs. The countless details may, however, also be seen as a negative. The minutiae about other people and situations sometimes have doubtful usefulness, even to historians. There is also some problem with transition and continuity, resulting in a somewhat choppy flow. The material is otherwise well edited.

Arnold Jacobs leaves a valuable musical legacy. Despite its shortcomings, Arnold Jacobs: Song and Wind is an important source for all musicians, particularly those who play brass instruments.

This correlates with embouchure problems too, by the way. My research into embouchures and my playing and teaching experiences, for that matter are not limited to just trombone or even low brass. In other words, it isn’t necessarily a good idea idea to look for a teacher who will just tell you what you want to hear.

Naturally, I wanted to share this knowledge with other teachers.

Jeff Smiley, “The Balanced Embouchure”

YOU are the true teacher in that you have to take all of the ideas coming at you and synthesize them into your own way of working and playing. For example, there would be no way to grasp the quality that we call “light” if darkness wasn’t around to give us a point of reference. At worst, those extreme lip positions will creep into the normal playing. This sort of embouchure switch in the normal playing range almost always causes issues.

It is, rather, supposed to be a set of exercises that systematically bring about an efficient embouchure for all players. Any chance you can post the page number or a quote?

The next thing I would point out is how this player slides the mouthpiece to a lower placement every time he moves out of the pedal range. Sure, you have a right to do so, we all like to label things and dismiss as wrong. In that way, the sheer volume of information would be almost impossible to dismiss, whether or not the reader decided to follow the program.

Re-read the above blog post for some. The method which show how to develop or discover balanced solves all problems. She found several misleading or false statements just skimming through a couple of pages. Thanks a embouchurr for giving this advice, Jeft think that what we need is a balanced way of seeing different kinds of methodology and search what best helps according to our specific nature as human beings.

Thanks again for your thoughts. I find it first very interesting that I was able to point Joy an Australian player who is principal horn in a German orchestra— website here to the Balanced Embouchure approach at a time when it was really jef to him.

You may want to consider reducing or eliminating your bunched chin before it starts to cause similar problems. Jerry Callet is like an eccentric uncle – you know, the one that you thought was so interesting and entertaining, until embouchue showed up at your dinner party stark naked and embarrassed the hell out of everybody! Briefly, Smiley feels that positioning the tongue at times so that it touches the lips can provide valuable feedback and help position the embouchure appropriately.

By all means, continue to explore it and enjoy your time with it. Much of what Smiley writes is not mainstream.

So, I joined the Army as a trumpet player. Joy mentioned The Balanced Embouchure as a factor in his current embouchure approach.

For others, performance may be the right choice. I’ve studied with many trumpet teachers and every one of them gave me a building block for my own personal structure. Same with trumpet or trombone.

Isn’t starting beginners on double pedal C, and G above the staff, rather unusual? Notice also how this player always stops to take a breath at the same point in the range between E and G on the top of the staff and in doing so is allowing himself to reset his embouchure.

Bottom line, BE can work for some players and screw up others, but the same can be said for any embouchure development system. Please leave your comment below or contact me privately. Yes, the exaggerated lip movement exercises are done outside of your normal playing. Back to your review. Phase one was doing the research with the students and writing the book, about a two year process.

But until one has given BE an honest trial period, that individual really knows nothing about it. Of course there are many players who swear by practicing pedal tones. The end result is a continuously flexing embouchure, which allows students to play from the double pedal register on up G above high C and beyond.

Most directors still do not know what I do.
