About the project
The project documents and disseminates knowledge production and expertise from 40 years of teaching, studying and researching wind technique and technique in general. The focus is especially on the importance of relaxation, coordination and precision when playing an instrument - in this case especially the trumpet.
The knowledge and exercises generated by the project can be used by all brass players as it is about improving the quality of attack, flexibility, coordination and technique in general on your instrument, while relaxing your whole body as much as possible.
It wouldn't be wrong to call the techniques a kind of merging with your instrument.
The exercises focus on all levels, starting from music school level all the way up to the professional level, as the level of difficulty is very varied.
All the exercises are characterized by the fact that they were created in connection with a problem that the pupils/students had to solve. The collection therefore focuses on concrete problems and specific technical challenges - and the associated variety of different solutions.
The project is a continuation of Rolf's two other pedagogical research projects:
