Jeffrey Agrell’s Newest Horn Book Focuses on The Blues and Beyond

Jeffrey Agrell’s writing is no stranger to the Last Row audience. Recently retired from teaching at the University of Iowa, Agrell’s newest book introduces the horn player to the subject of the Blues.

From the description:

French Horn Player’s Guide to the Blues (and Beyond) is a new look at how horn players can get in on the joys and benefits of creating their own music and at last take part in the most influential musical genre of the 20th century, the blues. The blues is an aural art, but this method uses notation as a springboard to (paradoxically) getting free of dependence on notation. Players will learn about the structure of the blues and will learn to solo and create bass lines and accompaniments. Players may learn on their own, with a teacher, or with friends. It’s time to find out what you’ve been missing. Start on your blues journey now. Today.
