Ultimate Horn Technique Reviewed in Horn World

Of Ultimate Horn Technique James Boldin writes,

I bought both this book and another new publication, Ultimate Low Horn, at the 2011 Southeast Horn Workshop in early March. Since then I’ve been working regularly out of both, and almost every day with Ultimate Horn Technique. The complete title reads Ultimate Horn Technique: Exercises from 19th-Century Masters to Develop Finger Technique, Range, Transposition, Characteristic Playing, Intonation, and Double and Triple Tonguing. After using the book on a daily basis for the last several weeks, I would say that it definitely delivers on these goals! The preface states that the material was drawn from methods by Gallay, Kling, Meifred, Dauprat, Arban, Gumpert, and Schantl, though the author has expertly edited and organized the various exercises into a cohesive whole.
