The HOLBARTO technique for trombone playing
can be applied to all brass and woodwind instruments. Holbarto, developed by
Neil Wittmann, tries
to be an holistic approach to teaching/ learning an instrument. Neil teaches
most brass (trombone, trumpet, cornet, tenor horn, french horn, baritone, euphonium,
tuba) and has learned a little saxophone, violin, flute, guitar, keyboard, bass
guitar and bassoon (mostly, very little and a long time ago!). Currently working
part time for Leeds Music Support Service (Yorkshire, England), Neil has several
projects 'on the go' one of which is developing and promoting this web site and
the HOLBARTO technique. The 'hard copy' version of the technique, complete with
'Talk-thru CD', may well be in the shops by the time you read this.
