Paul Archibald coaching at the
Royal College |
Paul has coached at London's conservatoires
for most of his professional career and during that time has worked
with many talented players, many of whom are now in orchestras and
ensembles throughout the world. Paul also
works with professional players on specific performing projects
and gives technical advice and guidance if required. His experience
in brass ensemble performance, as a member of the Philip Jones
Brass Ensemble and his own group, the English Brass Ensemble,
enables Paul to work with ensembles on all aspects of chamber
music performance, particularly repertoire and programme planning.
He has developed his own method, an ongoing series
of books entitled Breathe! which forms the basis of his teaching.
This method is now used by many students and professionals and
is a systematic approach to practice and performance techniques.
He has also arranged studies and repertoire pieces that are incorporated
in his system to compliment the existing repertoire for the instrument.
Studies are an essential tool for developing a personal musical
style and for improving range and stamina. Here is a selection
of contrasting study books that are useful for developing musical
awareness and technical ability.
