Description:
Beyond Semitones: Microtonality for Brass (The Tuba)
A precise fingering system for microtonal playing.
Until now, notes between the semitones on brass instruments have largely been approached through approximate techniques such as half-valving. This book introduces clearly defined fingerings that make these microtonal pitches playable with precision, stability, and confidence.
