Thesis (MMus) -- Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study attempts to address some shortcomings of brass tuition in South Africa. It is
unique in its approach in concentrating on musicians from previously disadvantaged
communities, although the content of the document can be equally successfully applied to
brass teaching in general.
The study differs from any previous written material on this topic in that it takes the
background of the previously disadvantaged educator and learner into consideration. It
therefore does not assume that the learner can read music or that the educator has any
formal training. The challenge is thus to write a document to provide the educator and
learner with basic information in a medium that does not take anything for granted and
that also offers some practical guidance in already existing projects. As a starting point a
background is offered to produce a general overview of the problem.
My research has convinced me that a document which consists only of a written text
would not be sufficient to guide the educator and learner. I have therefore set out to
accompany the text document with a practical trumpet manual. South African melodies
were predominantly used as study material. This offers the opportunity to all South
African learners from different cultural backgrounds to identify with the study material.
My literature review includes a selection of the most commonly used beginner brass
manuals in South Africa. For practical reasons I made use of abbreviations in the trumpet
manual to indicate the source of a particular melody. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: GEEN
