‘Sing, Buzz, Blow, Play’ by mark Reynolds has certainly made an impact since it went on sale earlier this month.
Here are some recent reviews about the book:
A concise and superbly compiled approach to the fundamental techniques of the EEB tuba.
This is the first time I've seen a comprehensive variety of exercises in one place and specific to an EEb bass clef instrument.
Jonathan Gawn - Principal Tuba Scottish Ballet & former principal Royal AIr Force Music Services & Orquesta Sinfonica de Tenerife'.
Having studied with, started a brass ensemble with, and often played in orchestras together, I have heard Mark warm up a lot!!
He is the kind of player it is lovely to share a warm up room with. I think the book, if you strive for the beauty of sound that Mark has, will help many brass players of all levels.
Christopher Dicken, principal trumpet Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen
As a tuba playing manual it is brilliant and should be on everyone’s music stand.
Tony Swainson. Senior Low Brass lecturer, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
It’s excellent ,no nonsense and to the point. I am a big fan of basics so its music to my ears. Thank you very much for writing it.
