Inside John Haynie's Studio
"". . . A treasure of insight into the mind and heart of one of our great American performers and teachers. If the Arban book is the trumpet player's 'Bible,' then I'd have to say Inside John Haynie's Studio is the trumpet teacher's 'Bible.'"-Ronald Romm, founder, Canadian Brass, and professor of trumpet, University of Illinois "The essays in this remarkable volume go far beyond trumpet pedagogy. . . . John's concern for educating the whole person, not just cramming for the job market, emanates from every page. This book showcases a teaching career that has become legendary."-James Scott, dean of the College of Music, University of North Texas "The principle that pervades my entire educational philosophy did not come from education or psychology classes; it did not come from the many sermons preached by my Dad and hundreds of other pulpiteers. It came from John Haynie's studio."-Douglas Smith, Mildred and Ernest Hogan Professor of Music, Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryAUTHOR." -- Publisher.

They brought to this critical project a concentration of knowledge and skills encompassing many disciplines, unprecedented in history and likely unrepeatable. Against the backdrop of a beautiful mountainous environment, enriched by a mixture of Native American, ...

The Transformation
