I've known Tony Horowitz for many years. As chief administrator for the Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, California, I watched Tony train hundreds of young musicians in the proper way to prepare for, recruit and play casual music engagements.
Tony was also very busy as a recording musician as well in the Los Angeles film, television and record industry.
Tony has had excellent training from some of the top player-teachers in the business.
I feel that his new book for brass players is practical, easy to understand and immediately applicable to the real work of commercial music.
I highly recommend Tony and his new book to anyone seeking for the truth without the normal b____s____ that goes with it.

Tony: I love your new Warm-Up to Consistency. I will recommend it to my students, both at Hamilton Music Academy and Pepperdine University. In the forty years we have been trading information, I have gotten the most from you. This book is a welcome addition to trumpet pedagogy. As I said before, I will recommend it to my students.
Love ya man!

For over thirty years, Tony Horowitz and I have worked together in many diverse playing situations. In every case I've known Tony to rise to the occasion of whatever demand was expected of him . . .
This book contains the "right stuff" needed to attain that level of consistent trumpet playing.

Before I met Tony it was a real chore to play the trumpet. Since I started using his techniques I've gained a fifth on my range and actually get stronger the longer I play. It's a delight to play now. I use his methods now with great success. I would highly recommend his methods to any trumpet player.

There are no tricks or secrets when it comes to warming up and practicing. Your book includes "universal truths" handed down from the masters, and written by a master!
Of course I would recommend this book for students, teachers and professionals alike.
