&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oggi navigando su facebook ho trovato un articolo molto interessante sul &quot;Valore degli Insegnanti&quot;, magari quello di cui parla l&#39;articolo può essere una cosa molto comune in un paese come gli Stati Uniti dove tutti possono aspirare a guadagnare di più o ad avere dei riconoscimenti se fanno bene il proprio lavoro o se lo fanno meglio degli altri;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;questa teoria invece per molti italiani potrebbe essere sconvolgente (specialmente per i diretti interessati): nella scuola pubblica tutto è appiattito, ognuno guadagna gli stessi soldi, lo stipendio aumenta solo per scatti di anzianità (Chi ce li ha tra l&#39;altro, visto che i precari della scuola non hanno questo privilegio) e la qualità degli insegnanti non è riconosciuta in alcun modo; inoltre stiamo vivendo in un periodo dove si abusa del precariato, rispetto alla gestione di stampo comunista del pubblico impiego italiano, c&#39;è stata addirittura una regressione; molti non sanno se l&#39;anno prossimo lavoreranno o se lavoreranno nella stessa scuola, indipendentemente se abbiamo fatto un buon lavoro o meno, e la continuità didattica?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;E&#39; assolutamente frustrante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ogni volta che i &quot;nostri&quot; politici parlano di meritocrazia rabbrividisco perchè riescono solo a far danni, non sapendo loro in molti casi cosa significhi quella parola.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;La burocrazia regna sovrana e &amp;nbsp;ogni anno sono costretto a produrre quintali di carta straccia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;My idea of orchestral sound has develop, and from “two colors” (F tuba and C tuba) has become “three colors” (F tuba, C tuba and Bflat), and with it also the use of the different instruments through the repertoire has changed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I found much more possibilites in my color palette; and this choice, that maybe none of the orchestral colleagues will notice at first sight, will change the sound of orchestra in each particular work. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I have to say also the manufacturers spent during the years more time and money developing C tubas then Bflat, there are plenty of different professional models in C then in Bflat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Today also if the designs of the Bflat are not so far from the traditional design ( German Style Kaiser Tuba) the performance qualities are much better then before, the playability, the response, the intonation, and the resonance are first class.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;So what change? Why a tuba player should play both C and Bflat?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Good question!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;It’s very difficult to describe the difference between a C “York” Style (or american style C tuba) and a Bflat “Kaiser” Tuba, I red many descriptions about that and still it’s not easy to have a clear idea, here you can find a satisfying report:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rickdenney.com/york_vs_miraphone.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.rickdenney.com/york_vs_miraphone.htm&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Kaiser tuba to me has a very dark and deep sound, with a lot of core, everytime I play it I feel the weight of its sound, the York style has a more broad sound,with less core but with which is very easy to melt with the rest of the orchestra….yes I know, it’s a too much superficial descritpion, as I once red: “talk about music is like dance about architecture”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;You should experiment by yourself, not only playing both but also listening the different orchestras in the world (with internet today we have all the tools to do it) and making a comparison in sound, it worth it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;In the last years I saw that some of the tuba players in the biggest american orchestras have shown interest on the Bflat, that’s a very big change considering that in the last sixty years C tuba in the States has been the all around orchestral instrument; the first I knew is Gene Pokorny (Chicago Symphony Orchestra), for which the Melton/Meinl Weston has developed the piston version of the Fafner; Carol Jantsch (Philadelphia Orchestra) shown an interest on the Fafner; Matt Good (Dallas Symphony) own his Fafner, and more and more in other countries are moving to this new trend. Brian Earl principal tuba in La Scala Orchestra told me&amp;nbsp; both times he played the Ring, the conductors Muti first and Bareboim nowadays asked him to play a Bflat tuba, the original instrument for which Wagner wrote the contrabasstuba part.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Mainly two reasons have led to this process:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;- the open-minded of some pioneering musician, ready for the challenge that adding a different instrument to their arsenal requires.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;- meticulousness and knowledge of some conductors in demanding different instruments, compared to others who are unaware of the existence of it;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;This can be considered&amp;nbsp; the beginning of a revenge of an instrument outperformed in the decades by the more refined and more developed horn pitched in C.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I hope this opennes of views can influence more countries and musician in future, this article was written to support the B flat in a C tuba world, but I would like to see the same for the C tuba on Bflat tuba world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Negli ultimi 60 anni, e più, la tuba in Sib è stata soppiantata in molte delle più grandi orchestre professionali nel mondo dalla Tuba in Do, con l’eccezione di tutti i paesi di lingua tedesca dove non ha mai conosciuto crisi, grazie alla loro forte tradizione musicale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Anche in Italia la Tuba in Sib è stato lo strumento predominante per molti anni, direi anche troppo, perchè venne usata anche per tutto il repertorio lirico (ma la stragrande maggioranza delle opere sono state scritte per strumenti in Fa)……con i risultati che tutti possiamo immaginare, lo strumento usato in quei casi era il trombone contrabbasso in Sib, Cimbasso in Sib o comunque lo vogliate chiamare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Molti dei tubisti europei che migrarono negli Stati Uniti agli inizi del ventesimo secolo, come Fritz Geib e August Helleberg, usarono molto strumenti in Sib.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Con le “nuove” generazioni la Tuba in Do divenne la Tuba Contrabbassa standard; Arnold Jacobs lanciò la moda della Tuba in Do 6/4 modello “York” (che è tutt’oggi il disegno più copiato nel mondo delle grandi tube in Do da orchestra) creando così una nuova tradizione, che è ancora un riferimento per molti dei moderni tubisti d’orchestra.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Questa moda ha raggiunto dimensioni globali, perciò oggi si possono trovare Tube in stile “York” a New York, Chicago, come ad Amsterdam, Tokyo o Sidney.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Sembra che il suono particolare di quel tipo di Tuba abbia infettato chiunque.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Anche io, dopo aver suonato la Tuba in Sib per qualche anno (ho vinto il mio primo concorso al Teatro San Carlo di Napoli con una Miraphone in Sib) sono passato alla Tuba in Do come mia unica Tuba Contrabbassa (B&amp;amp;S 3198, PT-6P), con la quale ho suonato poi per diversi anni. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Onestamente devo dire che la mia prima impressione,una volta passato alla Tuba in Do, era che tutto fosse molto più facile da suonare rispetto alla Tuba in Sib, l’articolazione era più chiara e…una cosa non da poco: gli scrocchi erano molti meno!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Solo quando ho cominciato a fare audizioni in Germania ho deciso di tornare alla Tuba in Sib, ed il primo impatto è stato terribile, non ero capace di suonare un vero legato, ed il registro acuto era pieno di scrocchi….con il tempo e lo studio le cose sono cominciate a migliorare, ed ora che suono una Fafner (Melton), fisso il mio livello in base a quanto bene riesco a suonare quello strumento, in tutti gli aspetti: suono, intonazione, articolazione, legato, flessibilità.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Per un certo periodo il mio uso della Sib si limitava al tempo che dedicavo alla preparazione dei concorsi; ma poi qualcosa è cambiato, magari i miglioramenti tecnici hanno giocato un ruolo chiave, fatto sta che il mio gusto musicale è cambiato ed ho cominciato ad usare di più la Tuba in Sib.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;La mia idea di suono orchestrale si è sviluppato, e da “due colori” (Tuba in Fa e Tuba in Do) è diventato a tre colori ( Tuba in Fa, Tuba in Do e Tuba in Sib), e con esso è cambiata la scelta dei diversi strumenti in base al repertorio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ho trovato molte più sfumature nella mia tavolozza di colori-suoni, e questa scelta che a prima vista potrebbe lasciare indifferenti gli altri colleghi d’orchestra, in realtà cambia il suono dell’orchestra in ogni diversa composizione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;C’è da dire che nel corso degli anni le ditte di strumenti hanno investito molto più tempo e denaro nello sviluppo di Tube professionali in Do rispetto a quelle in Sib, fino a poco tempo fa c’era un’infinità di Tube professionali in Do e molto poche in Sib.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Oggi anche se il design delle Tube in Sib non si è discostato da quello tradizionale (Kaiser Tuba ) le qualità performanti sono di molto superiori rispetto al passato, la suonabilità, la risposta, l’intonazione e la risonanza sono di prima classe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Allora, cos’è cambiato? Perché un musicista dovrebbe suonare sia la Tuba in Do che quella in Sib?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Bella domanda!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;E’ molto difficile descrivere la differenza tra una Tuba in Do stile York (o di stile “americano”) ed una Kaiser Tuba in Sib, ho letto tante descrizioni a riguardo e nonostante tutto non è facile trovare una spiegazione che sia realmente chiara, in questo link di seguito potrete trovare un resoconto &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;soddisfacente:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rickdenney.com/york_vs_miraphone.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.rickdenney.com/york_vs_miraphone.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Per me la Kaiser Tuba ha un suono molto scuro e profondo, con un centro molto definito, ogni volta che la suono sento veramente il peso del suo suono; la York sembra avere un suono più largo, con più alone, meno centrato ma che si amalgama molto bene con il resto dell’orchestra…si, lo so, è una descrizione troppo superficiale,una volta ho letto questa frase che rende molto l’idea: “parlare di musica è come ballare di architettura”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Dovete sperimentare da soli la differenza tra i due suoni, non solo provando le diverse tube ma anche ascoltando le diverse orchestre nel mondo (con internet oggi abbiamo tutti i mezzi per farlo) e fare una comparazione in termini di suono, ne vale la pena.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Negli ultimi anni ho visto che alcuni tubisti delle più grandi orchestre americane si sono interessati alla tuba in Sib, questo è veramente un grande cambiamento visto che negli ultimi sessanta anni in America la Tuba in Do è stato lo strumento jolly con cui si faceva quasi tutto; il primo di cui sono venuto a sapere è Gene Pokorny (Chicago Symphony Orchestra) per cui la Melton ha sviluppato la versione a pistoni della Fafner, Carol Jantsch (Philadelphia Orchestra) so che era interessata alla Fafner, Matt Good (Dalla Symphony) ha una Fafner, ed altri ancora in altri paesi si stanno muovendo verso questo nuovo trend.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Brian Earl, tubista del Teatro alla Scala, mi ha detto che entrambe le volte che ha suonato il Ring di Wagner, i direttori Riccardo Muti prima, e Daniel Barenboim dopo, gli hanno chiesto di suonare la Tuba in Sib, lo strumento originale per il quale Wagner scrisse la parte del tuba contrabbassa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Due motivi principali hanno portato a questo cambiamento:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;- l’apertura mentale di alcuni musicisti innovatori, pronti per la sfida che aggiungere uno strumento diverso al proprio arsenale richiede.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;- la meticolosità e la conoscenza di alcuni Direttori nel richiedere strumenti diversi, rispetto ad altri che ne ignorano addirittura l’esistenza. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Questa può essere considerata la rivincita di uno strumento caduto quasi in disuso per anni,&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;al quale è stato preferito la più ricercata e più sviluppata&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Tuba in Do.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Spero che questa apertura di vedute possa influenzare ancora più paesi e musicisti in futuro, ho scritto questo articolo per supportare la Tuba in Sib in un mondo dove la Tuba in Do la fa da padrone, ma mi piacerebbe vedere lo stesso per la Tuba in Do nel mondo della Tuba in Sib.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

there would be no problems except that our body is acquiring informations, reacting to stimuli that are sent;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt;all these signals come very clear to our brain which forward them to our muscles,the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt;portion of the brain that manages and distributes these pulses is unable to distinguish whether this informations are correct or not, but in fact we are firmly rooting in our brain a way to play that is not correct, imprecise and approximate; this will affect the performance of that specific piece for a long time, even if one day we will have changed the way to practice, there will always be the possibility of an interference of the old signal, ready to jump out when we least expect it, perhaps even during a concert in which we finally have the chance to show the world what we are worth, a moment of distraction and……bang! here is that signal which is part of our past way of playing, but that will never be erased from our brain and which will be ready to spoil the party.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt;So what?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt;….So try to do exactly what I wrote in the title, be patient and begin right now to break the song into small manageable fragments and play them very slowly, several times; think of physical therapy, if you had hurt a leg and you had to make a rehab would do the same thing: repetition of small movements performed slowly, until regain the natural mobility that allows you to start walking and running again.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt;It is never too slow, the title speaks for itself: “a very fast sequence of long tones”….and I’m not joking, how slow depends on your ability to manage those specific technical difficulties, it means that because you will need a excellent double tonguing, you should practice the world’s slowest double tonguing; play every note, sustained and without gaps between intervals, and always with your best sound; use the same technique that you need to use later (double tonguing), does not make sense to use simple tonguing just because you&#39;re playing slowly, would be to spend time practicing a technique that you will not need then in that context.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14.0pt;&quot;&gt;You can also make a further step in the deepening of double tonguing technique: pronounce it as often as possible, train your tongue to ta-ka ta-ka even when not playing, symply by saying it; I remember an old teacher who once said: “get used to pronounce these syllables, say it everywhere, when you&#39;re on the bus,in a bar or under the shower”….I might avoid doing so in a clear manner in public places in order to avoid obvious consideration by those around you…you decide &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Wingdings;

&lt;/span&gt;your body, the brain system that regulates the learning, needs clear signals repeated over time, most often studied as above, more easy will be for you to understand how much time you need to master a new song.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Csardas, Una sequenza molto veloce di note lunghe&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Quando si tratta di cominciare a studiare brani virtuosistici come la Csardas di Monti la tentazione, specialmente quando si è più giovani, è quella di buttarsi a capofitto cercando invano di eseguirli a tempo, in quei momenti si perde la lucidità e si vuole raggiungere nel più breve tempo possibile il risultato sperato cercando così di imitare i nostri idoli; non ci sarebbe nessun problema se non fosse che il nostro corpo sta comunque apprendendo delle informazioni, reagendo a degli stimoli che noi gli mandiamo; tutti questi segnali arrivano ben chiari al nostro cervello che a sua volta li trasmette ai nostri muscoli, la parte del cervello che gestisce e distribuisce questi impulsi non è in grado di distinguere se queste informazioni sono corrette o meno ma, di fatto, stiamo radicando sempre di più nel nostro cervello un modo si suonare non corretto, impreciso ed approssimativo; ciò influenzerà l’esecuzione di quel brano specifico per molto tempo, anche se un giorno avremo cambiato modo di studiare ci sarà sempre la possibilità di un’interferenza del vecchio segnale, pronto a saltare fuori quando meno ce lo aspettiamo,&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;magari proprio durante un concerto in cui finalmente abbiamo la possibilità di dimostrare al mondo quello che valiamo, un attimo di distrazione e tac….ecco quel segnale che fa parte di un nostro modo di suonare passato, ma che non sarà mai cancellato dal nostro cervello e che sarà pronto a rovinarci la festa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;E allora?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;…e allora provate a fare esattamente quello che ho scritto nel titolo, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;armatevi di pazienza e cominciate sin da subito a scomporre il brano in tanti piccoli frammenti facilmente gestibili, e suonateli molto lentamente svariate volte; pensate alla fisioterapia, se vi foste fatti male ad una gamba e doveste fare una riabilitazione fareste la stessa cosa: ripetizione di piccoli movimenti eseguiti molto lentamente, fino a che non riacquisite la mobilità naturale che vi permetta di ricominciare a camminare ed a correre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Non sarà mai troppo lento, il titolo parla chiaro: “una sequenza molto veloce di note lunghe”…..e non scherzo, quanto lento dipenderà dalla vostra&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;abilità nel gestire quelle determinate difficoltà tecniche, vuol dire che siccome nella Csardas avrete bisogno di un ottimo doppio staccato, dovrete esercitarvi cominciando a studiare il doppio staccato più lento del mondo; suonate ogni nota, lunga e senza buchi tra i diversi intervalli, e con il vostro miglior suono possibile; utilizzate la stessa tecnica che dovrete usare poi, non ha senso utilizzare lo staccato semplice solo perché state suonando lentamente, vorrebbe dire perdere tempo a studiare una tecnica che non vi servirà poi in quel contesto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Potete fare anche un ulteriore passo nella strada dell’approfondimento della tecnica del doppio staccato: pronunciatelo più spesso possibile, allenate la lingua al ta-ca ta-ca anche quando non suonate, semplicemente dicendolo; mi ricordo un vecchio insegnante che una volta disse: “Abituatevi a pronunciare queste sillabe, ditele ovunque, quando siete in autobus, al bar, sotto la doccia”…..ecco, io magari eviterei di farlo in maniera evidente in luoghi pubblici per non incorrere in ovvie considerazioni da parte di chi vi circonda…poi fate voi &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Wingdings; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Magari vi chiederete: “ma quanto tempo mi ci vorrà per riuscire a suonare finalmente questo brano come dico io?”&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;a questa domanda potrete rispondere solo voi o meglio il vostro corpo, il sistema cerebrale che regola l’apprendimento a bisogno di segnali chiari ripetuti nel tempo, più spesso studierete nel modo sopra citato più facile sarà per voi capire di quanto tempo avrete bisogno per padroneggiare un nuovo brano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Per quanto riguarda le parti cantabili, non sottovalutatele, applicate lo stesso principio di studio, dedicategli lo stesso tempo che impiegate per studiare il doppio staccato, in modo che tutti gli aspetti tecnici (in questo caso il legato) siano sotto controllo,&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;ciò vi permetterà di esprimere la vostra musicalità con maggior disinvoltura e senza sorprese.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Le vostre parole d’ordine dovranno essere:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;-segnali chiari&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;-studiare lentamente&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;-ripetizione&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;

&lt;br /&gt;
1 - technical issues&lt;br /&gt;
2 - how to make music&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 What I do when I have to practice a new piece is to play very slowly at a mezzo forte dynamic, if the range is to high I play that passages an octave lower, if there is some double or triple tounging I do it also if the tempo is slow, I repeat a lot of time till my body has assimilated all the movements (breathing,lips vibration,embouchure,fingerings) is not only a question of reading a piece of music but to teach our body to encode that piece of music.&lt;br /&gt;
Practice with the mouthpiece specially the II variation, to me is the most challenging part because we need a smooth legato in mezzo forte and piano dynamic, so a very solid control of our buzz (slur) is required.&lt;br /&gt;
Be sure when you buzz to play every note at the exact pitch,then play the intervals going up or down with glissando and stop only when you have reached the right intonation, help yourself with a piano.&lt;br /&gt;
Open your ears! if the note you are buzzing doesn&#39;t have the same intonation of the note you are playing with piano, tune it like when you are looking to your loved radio station, in this way you will play in tune but also you will set up in the right way your embouchure, teaching your facial muscles and your jaw what they have to do with every note, and also HOW they have to move to go from one note to another one, we can call this approach: &quot;unconscious learning&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
When you&#39;ll find a particularly difficult passage, extrapolate it like if it is one of your daily drills and practice in all the different keys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 - When all the technical skills are under your control, you can go on with the most important aspect of your performance: the music!&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to what you might think the first step to be a better musician has nothing to do with personality, inspirations or &amp;nbsp;feeling, indeed try first to be strictly loyal to all the informations you find on the score:&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;b&gt;rhythm &lt;/b&gt;(rhythm is mathematics, nothing more nothing less)&amp;nbsp;the metronome has to be your best friend while practicing, but do not let it just turned on; listen to the&amp;nbsp;beat and spread correctly all the notes between it, you can set your metronome to click the different&amp;nbsp;subdivisions like eighth notes, triplets or sixteenths but please.......play in time!&lt;br /&gt;
- &lt;b&gt;articlutation signs&lt;/b&gt;, these signs make a &quot;very&quot; big difference on the meaning of the piece in question,&amp;nbsp;while you are reading a book or a newspaper you would never think to use different words from what&amp;nbsp;you find, so why you should in music paper?&lt;br /&gt;
- &lt;b&gt;dynamics &lt;/b&gt;this is the point that guides the performance from a merely execution of the notes to the&amp;nbsp;magic of music, try to have more colours as possible from &quot;pp&quot; to &quot;ff&quot;, and also on &quot;crescendo&quot; and&amp;nbsp;&quot;decrescendo&quot;, usually we find all this markings on the score, they are not only &quot;decorations&quot; but real&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;road sign&quot; that will lead us to the destination without which, &amp;nbsp;we&#39;ll get lost in the world of anonymity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only when you have mastered the three points above you can trascend the score to express your soul, as in poetry, but only you know your interior path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good Job and Enjoy :-)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;The term &#39;bel canto&#39; refers to the Italian vocal style of the 18th and early 19th centuries which the qualities of which include perfect legato production throughout the range; the secret to bel canto, some claim, lays in continuity of tone and in the ability to pass from one musical phrase to the next with little to no interruption.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Here is a example on how we should play in the vocalise style, like with the voice we have to keep the control of the sound through all the notes.&lt;br /&gt;
But how we can improve our legato? the easiest thing we should do, is to check it with the mouthpiece; put a plastic tube (10 cm - &amp;nbsp;3,93 inches) in the backbore just to have more easiness during the sound emission and start play every single not, be sure you blow the right air, you can control it putting your hand just in front of the tube or using the inspiron.&lt;br /&gt;
Take care also on the quality of your vibration, as to be rich and warm.&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have under control every single note, start to play two or three notes togheter using the glissato to move from one note to another, the most important thing now is the sound of the glissato, has to be the same of the first and last note without any interruption or leak of sound, the glissato is the bridge that connect the notes, in other words is what we call &quot;legato&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
Go on the same way adding notes, you are building your legato step by step.&lt;br /&gt;
The first goal has to be always the quality of your sound, and only YOU know when you have to breath or how loud or soft you can play; specially when you practice, when you are building your future performance, try to find the balance between all the variables needed in brass playing and keep in mind always this word: QUALITY!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;I remember when I was a student at the Conservatory, before my undergraduate exam, I didn’t spent so much time practicing because I attended also a high school and I did not have enough time to do everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;After the exam and summer holidays, for the respect I had of my teacher I started practice four hours everyday: two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;I didn’t know well what to do, so my first goal was to play keeping an eye on the clock until I played four hours at the end of the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;The first day was very hard because my lips were not used to work so much; I started&amp;nbsp; playing very easy things like long tones, slur and articulation, and I repeated the same exercises morning and afternoon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;After a while became more easy for me to play few hours every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;At this point I had the good luck to meet Roger Bobo, I studied with him in Fiesole (near Florence) for one year as a regular student, he gaves me a very accurate practice routine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;I practiced for one year every day six to seven hours following his teachings, It worked, because the same year I won two jobs in Italy, one in Napoli that was my first full time job for eight years…at that time still I didn’t understand really the reason why I was practicing that way, maybe I was too young, but I had a complete faith of my teacher, so I did exactely what he taught me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Then, I started taking lessons with many other eminent brass players around the world, but this time trying to understand every aspect of the brass playing; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;I remember when I started to have lessons with Rex Martin, I paid much attention to every single word during my lessons and during all the other students’ lessons and I tried to stay focused on my playing also , preserving all the questions for lunch or dinner time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;I found that if&amp;nbsp; I stayed focused on every single note I was playing, my level improved day by day, but I had to take more breaks….not to relax my lips but my mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;So when I was a student I started with the “quantity” of practice to discover later the “quality” of practice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;I told you my story, the show which could be&amp;nbsp; the evolution of a practice routine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;At the beginning of a musical life is the teacher who gives the student the “treatment” to develop the basics, and usually the student follows strictly the instructions……isn’t it ????&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Maybe will keep this routine for a long time while having new experiences with different teachers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;At some point if he has fully absorbed all the informations in its possession,he will create his own routine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Going back to the main question: How to practice?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;1 - first of all you need to know your “needs”, you have to learn to be the doctor of yourself, learn to recognize the symptoms of your problems;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;I think this point is not so difficult, everyone knows their pain.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;2 – you need to find the therapy, if you don’t know what to do….try the easiest thing: ASK! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;There are many teachers&amp;nbsp; around the world that can help you, don’t esitate to ask.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Normally when a student goes to a master class or a private lesson with an eminent teacher he cares to much to play good, specially if it is the first time, but remember you are not there to show him/her&amp;nbsp; how good you are but to find a solution to your problems.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;3 – Experiment. Once you have the knowledge about certain problems you have to experiment on yourself to decide if what you learned from a teacher rather then another work for you.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;If after a while you do not see improvements the reasons could many: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- you didn’t understand very well how to solve the problem.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- you understood, but during the practice you are doing something&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; different from what you should.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;- the teacher with which you had lesson didn’t know the topic, or taught &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; you something wrong.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;For each of this problems go back to point number 2 : ask again to as many qualified people as possible.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;4 If you have not had any problems with point number 3…you are on the &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;right track.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Remember that from this point you “START” to improve, many make the mistake of thinking that when they have solved a problem they have arrived….your trip to success starts here!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Work hard on your practice routine every day to see the improvements, don’t be lazy, everytime you do not do something…someone else is doing it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;5 evolve! When you have assimilated the exercises on your practice routine, chance it, maybe with something more difficult or different; try to carve your skills from all the different perspectives.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;6 be patient! When you start to work on a new skill take your time, leave time to your body to react to this new input. Remember this point specially when you are going to learn a new solo piece or a challenging repertoire,if you are able to know how long will take to master it, you’ll live your musical lifetime without going in a hurry and your performances will be much better and easier.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;If you have any question about this topic don’t esitate to contact me at:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ricordo che quando ero in Conservatorio, prima del diplomino, non studiavo molto perché contemporaneamente frequentavo le scuole superiori e non avevo tempo per fare tutto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Dopo l’esame e le vacanze estive decisi, per il grande rispetto che avevo verso il mio insegnante di allora, di cominciare a studiare quattro ore tutti i giorni: due ore di mattino e due ore di pomeriggio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Non sapevo bene cosa fare,&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;il mio primo obiettivo era semplicemente quello di tenere d’occhio l’orologio&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;fino a che non avessi suonato quattro ore alla fine della giornata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Il primo giorno è stato molto pesante perché le mie labbra non erano abituate a lavorare così tanto, ho cominciato con cose molto semplici come note lunghe, legato e&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;staccato, ripetendo gli stessi esercizi sia il&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;mattino che di pomeriggio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Dopo un po’ mi sono abituato, e non è stato più un problema suonare diverse ore al giorno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Dopo il Conservatorio ho avuto la fortuna di studiare con Roger Bobo alla Scuola di musica di Fiesole come studente effettivo, il quale ci aveva dato un piano di studi molto accurato e che seguivo in maniera molto disciplinata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Durante quell’anno ho studiato tutti i giorni dalle 6 alle 7 ore seguendo i suoi insegnamenti ed il suo piano di studio…ed ha funzionato perché poi sempre nello stesso anno ho vinto un’audizione ed il concorso&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;come tuba stabile al San Carlo di Napoli dove sono stato per otto anni.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;In quel periodo non avevo ancora compreso&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;realmente i motivi per cui studiavo in quel modo, seguendo quel piano di studi, forse ero troppo giovane, ma avevo una completa fiducia nel mio insegnante di allora (Bobo) perciò facevo esattamente quello che mi aveva insegnato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ho cominciato poi a prendere lezioni con molti altri insegnanti eminenti di tutto il mondo, cercando però di capire ogni aspetto della tecnica degli ottoni.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ricordo che quando ho cominciato a studiare con Rex Martin, prestavo molta attenzione ad ogni sua parola durante le mie lezioni, ma anche durante le lezioni degli altri cercando di assorbire ogni dettaglio; dedicavo la stessa attenzione inoltre ad ascoltarmi mentre suonavo, lasciando tutte le domande che dovevo porgli per i pranzi e le cene.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ho notato che se studiavo stando concentrato su ogni singola nota che suonavo, il mio livello migliorava di giorno in giorno, ma dovevo fare più pause…non per riposare le labbra ma la mente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Riassumendo: quando ero studente ho cominciato con uno studio di “quantità” per scoprire poi lo studio di “qualità”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Vi ho raccontato la mia storia per mostrarvi quella che potrebbe essere l’evoluzione di un piano di studio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;All’inizio di una “vita musicale” è l’insegnante che dà la “terapia” all’allievo per sviluppare le tecniche di base, e normalmente lo studente segue in maniera molto diligente le istruzioni che gli sono impartite….non è vero??????&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Magari potrà seguire questi piani di studio per un lungo periodo anche mentre farà ulteriori esperienze con nuovi insegnanti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ad un certo punto se avrà completamente assorbito tutte le informazioni in suo possesso, avrà la possibilità di creare un suo piano di studio personale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Tornando alla domanda principale: Come studiare?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;1 – prima di tutto dovete conoscere i vostri “bisogni”, dovete imparare ad essere il Dottore di voi stessi, imparare a riconoscere i sintomi dei vostri problemi; non credo sia molto difficile dal momento che ognuno sente i propri “dolori”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;2 – dovete trovare la terapia, se non sapete come….fate la cosa più semplice: CHIEDETE!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ci sono molti ottimi insegnanti in giro per il mondo che vi possono aiutare, non esitate a chiedere il loro aiuto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Generalmente quando uno studente partecipa ad un master class o prende delle lezioni private con un personaggio importante si preoccupa troppo di dover suonare bene, specialmente se è la prima lezione, ma ricordate che non siete lì per mostrare quanto siete bravi, piuttosto per trovare una soluzione ai vostri problemi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;3 -&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sperimentare. Una volta che avete acquisito una certa conoscenza riguardo alle soluzioni dei vostri problemi, dovete sperimentarle per decidere se quello che avete imparato da un insegnante piuttosto che da un altro funziona su di voi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Se dopo un po’ di tempo non vedete miglioramenti le ragioni potrebbero essere diverse:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;- non avete compreso bene quello che vi è stato insegnato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;- avete capito, ma durante lo studio fate qualcosa di diverso da quello &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;che dovreste.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;- l’insegnante con il quale avete fatto lezione non conosce l’argomento, o &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;vi ha insegnato qualcosa di sbagliato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Per ognuno di questi problemi tornate al punto 2: chiedete ancora al maggior numero di persone qualificate possibile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;4 – Se non avete avuto nessun problema al punto numero 3…siete sulla strada giusta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ricordate che da questo punto “COMINCIATE”&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;a migliorare, molti &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;commettono l’errore di pensare che se risolveranno un problema sono&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;arrivati…..ma il vostro viaggio verso il successo comincia qui!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Lavorate duramente sul vostro piano di studio quotidianamente per vedere i risultati, non siate pigri, ogni volta che voi non fate qualcosa…qualcun altro lo sta facendo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;5 – Evolvete. Quando avete assimilato gli esercizi che compongono il vostro piano di studi, cambiateli, magari con altri più difficili o diversi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Provate a “scolpire” la vostra abilità nel padroneggiare uno strumento da tutte le prospettive possibili.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;6 – Siate pazienti! Quando cominciate a lavorare su una nuova difficoltà prendetevi il tempo necessario, il vostro corpo avrà bisogno di tempo per assimilare in nuovi input.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Ricordatevi di questo specialmente se dovrete studiare un nuovo pezzo da solista o comunque un repertorio particolarmente impegnativo, se sapete dal principio di quanto tempo avrete bisogno per padroneggiarlo, la vostra vita musicale scorrerà molto più facilmente e senza ansie e di sicuro anche le vostre esecuzioni saranno migliori.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alessandro Fossi mi dice che è stato invitato a fare una master class all’Accademia Musicale di Glasgow per la fine di ottobre e che ha la possibilità di portare un allievo del suo conservatorio. Mi chiede se ho voglia di accompagnarlo. Non me lo faccio dire due volte e accetto l’invito! Subito il mio pensiero va al viaggio: come al solito quando un tubista deve viaggiare in aereo si presenta il problema di come trasportare il proprio strumento. Per fortuna che dall’accademia mi fanno sapere che non c’è problema perché potrò usufruire dei loro strumenti... Ottimo!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;L’impatto con l’accademia è subito buono: l’edificio è molto bello e moderno; ci si accorge subito dell’ottima organizzazione e veniamo accolti con grande cordialità dal Capo del Dipartimento Ottoni dell’Accademia, Prof. Bryan Allen. Alessandro va subito nella classe di tuba per cominciare le lezioni individuali, mentre io vengo accompagnato da B.Allen nella sala concerto dell’Accademia dove - così riesco a stento a capire - si stanno esibendo dei ragazzi. Quando entro c’è un ragazzo che sta suonando un pezzo a solo con la tuba e tra il pubblico ci sono gli studenti dei vari corsi. Dopo il tubista, si esibiscono due ragazze (rispettivamente oboe e flauto) e per finire un ragazzo col trombone. Ogni volta che uno studente entra sul palco per l’esecuzione (rigorosamente in abito da concerto) si rivolge innanzi tutto al pubblico, dando una breve descrizione del brano che andrà ad eseguire e augurando a tutti un buon ascolto. Finita l’esibizione e gli applausi, prendono la parola due insegnanti seduti tra il pubblico che commentano e danno un giudizio e “costringono” gli altri studenti a commentare e a relazionarsi con chi si è esibito. Più tardi mi dicono che ogni studente deve esibirsi per ben sei volte durante l’anno accademico e che ogni volta riceve un punteggio che farà media nella valutazione finale di fine anno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Finita questa specie di saggio-recital, rimango nella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;concert hall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;, dove nel giro di qualche minuto viene allestito il palco per l’imminente lezione. Si tratta di un ensemble di ottoni e percussioni che deve provare &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Fanfare for The Common Man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; di A.Copland per il concerto del giorno dopo. Alla tuba c’è Lauren, una ragazza molto simpatica alla quale (con non poche difficoltà dovute al mio inglese) chiedo un po’ di cose sulla classe di tuba e sull’Accademia. Con mio stupore ed immenso piacere mi dice che nel corso di tuba ci sono quattro ragazze e due ragazzi! &amp;nbsp;Penso subito che mi piacerebbe che fosse così anche in Italia!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Il pomeriggio prosegue con le lezioni individuali, poi mi affaccio in una sala in cui stavolta a suonare c’è un ensemble di tube ed euphonium. A dirigere il gruppo è Tony Swainson, uno degli insegnanti di tuba, che ha arrangiato per questa formazione un quartetto di tube molto interessante di Gunther Schuller.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

L’accademia oltre a queste tube ha anche una vecchia tuba in sib stile kaiser della Rudolf Meinl. Credo che questi strumenti vengano poco utilizzati, dato che (almeno tra gli studenti) sembra che non ci sia altra tuba all’infuori della mib con il tipico settaggio &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;British&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; dei pistoni 4+1 con compensazione. Mi spiegano che ciò è dovuto alla loro grande tradizione delle brass band, in cui si richiede quel suono e quella forma di tuba.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Che musica! E che insieme! Il direttore dà ai ragazzi le ultime indicazioni per il concerto della sera. Più tardi ho la possibilità di assistere ad altri saggi di valutazione; questa volta si esibiscono trombe, corni e tromboni. Devo dire che tutti suonano con grande professionalità e sembra che si trovino a loro agio a suonare di fronte ad un pubblico. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

L’acustica è da grande cattedrale, lo sfondo quello di un magnifico organo e l’aria che si respira è quella delle grandi serate. Si comincia con &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Fanfare for the Common Man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;; poi si passa alla &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Canzon à 8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; di Giovanni Gabrieli e poi ad un bellissimo arrangiamento della tipica &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Greensleeves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;.

Poi è il momento di Alessandro Fossi, che delizia il pubblico con l’Antifonia “Omnes Gentes” (originariamente scritta da G.A. Fioroni per voce e organo) e presentata in questa occasione nella nuova veste per tuba e organo. Finisce il primo tempo; il pubblico è numeroso e molto educato. Per i ragazzi il bello deve ancora venire: infatti finalmente è ora di suonare i &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Quadri di un’esposizione&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;! La musica è coinvolgente e l’esecuzione richiede particolare attenzione e una grande capacità di saper suonare in gruppo. Gli studenti se la cavano alla grande e dopo il concerto si va tutti a bere una birra in un tipico &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Scottish pub&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Io ho la possibilità di fare lezione con il già citato insegnante di tuba Tony Swainson e successivamente con l’insegnante di trombone John Kenny. Trovo molto interessante e stimolante ascoltare i consigli di altri insegnanti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ma il bello deve ancora venire! Nella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Guinness Room&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; comincia la masterclass aperta al pubblico in cui tre delle studentesse di tuba si esibiscono con il pianista di fronte ad un pubblico interessato e ad Alessandro, il quale dispensa come suo solito importanti consigli sulla tecnica strumentale e sulla prassi esecutiva dei concerti suonati. Finita la masterclass, giusto pochi minuti per sistemarsi ed Alessandro è pronto ad esibirsi di fronte a quei ragazzi che nei giorni precedenti hanno ascoltato le sue parole. La selezione consiste in tre brani, saggiamente scelti e bilanciati: ad aprire il recital è una &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;world premiere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;! Si tratta della &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;California Suite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; per tuba e piano che il compositore Giancarlo Aquilanti ha scritto per Alessandro: una raffinata musica che mette in mostra le abilità tecniche ed il lirismo del solista. Il suono della tuba viaggia libero e il bravissimo pianista Scott Mitchell valorizza davvero bene il fraseggio della tuba. Poi è il momento di scaldare il pubblico con un classico dei pezzi virtuosistici: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Tema e variazioni dal Carnevale di Venezia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; di J.B.Arban. Le variazioni volano in scioltezza una dopo l’altra... Per finire una celebre aria di quel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Bel Canto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; italiano che dà il titolo all’album di Alessandro: è &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Una furtiva lagrima&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; dall’ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Elisir d’amore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; di Donizetti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Non potrebbe essere altrimenti dopo una così grande interpretazione!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Primo fra tutti è ovviamente l’aver conosciuto un nuovo posto, nuova gente, il loro modo di fare e il loro relazionarsi con la musica. Il paragone con l’Italia è inevitabile... Mi è piaciuto molto il vivere l’Accademia quotidianamente. Ognuno lì è coinvolto per buona parte della giornata dalle attività dell’Accademia e ha modo di condividere molto tempo con i propri compagni di studio. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Da un punto di vista strettamente didattico ci sono - a mio modo di vedere - due punti fondamentali che sono una grande marcia in più rispetto al sistema dei conservatori italiani. Uno è la gran quantità di lezioni di musica di insieme: in soli tre giorni ho avuto modo di apprezzare ensemble di ottoni, quartetti di tube, big band! E devo dire che quando i ragazzi hanno suonato in concerto, quest’abitudine ed educazione a far musica &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;insieme&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt; si è notata. L’altra cosa fondamentale è l’abituare gli studenti che vogliono intraprendere la carriera da musicisti ad esibirsi di fronte a un pubblico (oltretutto molto competente, essendo composto dagli stessi studenti) frequentemente, e ricevere anche un giudizio da persone competenti. Non è in fondo molto diverso da ciò che accadrà agli studenti da qui a breve: si troveranno ad affrontare un pubblico che accorrerà per sentire cosa hanno di bello da suonare, oppure si troveranno ad una commissione che li giudicherà per un eventuale posto in orchestra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Da quel che ho potuto constatare, questi due punti saldi della didattica dell’Accademia scozzese sono degli aspetti che i conservatori italiani credo dovrebbero prendere in considerazione per formare dei musicisti all’altezza degli standard richiesti. Non si tratta solamente della qualità dei docenti in quanto suppongo che anche alla RSAMD ci saranno insegnanti più o meno bravi; piuttosto del tempo e degli sforzi che si dedicano per dare agli studenti una formazione il più possibile completa. Poi si potrebbe notare la differenza tra le strutture: moderna, spaziosa ed efficientissima quella scozzese; spesso fatiscente e talvolta male organizzata quella italiana. Ma non mi sento di focalizzare troppo l’attenzione su questo aspetto in quanto si tratta di risorse economiche differenti: in fondo il conservatorio italiano è totalmente pubblico e consente agli studenti un anno di lezioni ad un costo irrisorio. La sicuramente maggiore risorsa economica scozzese permetterà però quest’anno agli studenti di godere degli insegnamenti e della musica di grandi musicisti di livello internazionale: Alessandro Fossi, Allen Vizzutti, i Mnozil Brass, i German Brass…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

With the internet today the people can influence the companies to develop the products that customers want.&lt;br /&gt;
We can see in the tuba world a wide variety of models, every new model is better then the previous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I ask you:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have the possibility to influence a tuba manufacturers, what would you ask as the next new model? What &amp;nbsp;think you need?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oggi tutte le aziende cercano continuamente nuovi prodotti, nuove auto, nuovi smart phones, nuove banche, sempre alla ricerca di innovazione, qualcosa di più attraente per i clienti, qualcosa che possa aiutare i clienti nel loro lavoro, nel loro hobby o quant&#39;altro.&lt;br /&gt;
Con internet oggi la gente può influenzare le aziende a sviluppare prodotti che loro stessi vogliono.&lt;br /&gt;
Anche nel mondo della tuba è così, c&#39;è una grande varietà di modelli, ed ogni nuovo modello è migliore del precedente.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Così vi chiedo:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se aveste la possibilità di influenzare i produttori di tuba, cosa chiedereste come nuovo modello?&lt;br /&gt;
Di cosa pensate di avere bisogno?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alessandrofossi.blogspot.com/feeds/2820448993006263356/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alessandrofossi.blogspot.com/2010/09/nuovi-prodotti-new-products.html#comment-form' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3197180742055052837/posts/default/2820448993006263356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3197180742055052837/posts/default/2820448993006263356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alessandrofossi.blogspot.com/2010/09/nuovi-prodotti-new-products.html' title='Nuovi prodotti - New products'/><author><name>Alessandro Fossi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03257600709990694305</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Q8LAhZ2kv7udCkHn0ysZsh-OJRvr2hDxBfqkQoVTBA3hG78cqtlpmJyY1HPP3_Rl_K9pLExKsL4rai93KxXGgZgLz5_peKD3aSGn-bDB3HtW4E4e_y11JA-qAzU6mQ/s220/Fossi-Earl9B_2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197180742055052837.post-4641586145642926239</id><published>2010-09-08T23:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-08T23:28:00.370-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Simone Mantia: From our roots our future begins</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I found it reading an article in the International Tuba Euphonium Association Journal (ITEA Journal) on the Simone Mantia Collection.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Was born in Palermo (Sicily) and immigrated with his family in USA in 1890.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;He became later a legend of the Euphonium, but also with Trombone, playing with the most important bands and orchestras in New York.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;You can read this article by Gretchen Renshaw about Simone Mantia in Vol 37 Number 3 Spring 2010 of the ITEA Journal.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The answers to this question could be many, from my side I am increasingly re-evaluating the importance of the &quot;musical ear&quot; test.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;have a “good ear”, then be able to sing a melodic line or even just a sound, is a key step to be able later to work in depth on the production of the sound (vibration) with the mouthpiece.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Students who can not sing with impeccable intonation, difficultly will be able to mantain a steady and strong sound with the mouthpiece, making &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;much more difficult the solution of the problems with the instrument.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Producing a vibration with the lips or sing a note requires the same mental process, that is think the pitch we want to play; when we miss a note one of the factors that may have contributed to this outcome is the fact of not having in mind the pitch of the note in question.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This happens very often in beginners who have not much familiarity with the instrument, , but also professionals are not exempt especially in those orchestral compositions with many bar&#39;s rests and then must play a high note.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;What to do then?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;For what concern students, if during the examinations they show a “good ear” we should encourage them to sing alot the music that will must play alternating singing, buzzing and performing on the instrument.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;To those who have serious problems, I ask to sing at first only one note on the mid range, if they fail to hit the perfect pitch, I suggest to imagine having a radio tuner in hand, and change the pitch of the voice following the movement of the hand until&amp;nbsp; tune the right frequency.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This process can take many months of practice, a real physical therapy applied to our auditory system, but once solved the problem we can finally &amp;nbsp;go through the next step:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;production of a healthy and even vibration in all register.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0022c3;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
