Cichowicz, perhaps this volume can help to promote the idea of flow. For those who never had the opportunity to study with Mr. Cichowicz, perhaps this book can be used to supplement his original patterns. A concerted effort has been made not to duplicate his original flow study patterns in this book.įor those who studied with Mr. The great trumpet pedagogue Vincent Cichowicz is known for using the term “flow study” in his teaching. Professor Sullivan addresses this in an Acknowledgement page. If you’re familiar with the flow studies developed by renowned trumpet teacher Vincent Cichowicz, you may be wondering if there are any similarities between them and the material in this collection.

This is a logical, well organized collection, and contains a wide range of exercises. Although we’ve never met, I noticed in her biography that she is also a graduate of UW-Madison, and the book includes a Preface by Douglas Hill (you can read the preface here).

Over the holiday break I spent some time working out of Nancy Sullivan‘s Flow Studies for Horn, a new publication from Mountain Peak Music (cover image at right linked from the MPM website.) Professor Sullivan is on the faculty at Northern Arizona University, and is quite active as a chamber and orchestral musician.
