There is a famous quote, "A man is who a man reads."
This is especially true with Arnold Jacobs. He was recognized as the
expert on respiration for wind musicians
although he was primarily self taught.
For this reason, Gizella Jacobs allowed
all of his medical books to be available
for future generations to study. The
Arnold and Gizella Jacobs Collection
is being assembled in the offices of
WindSong Press with with books at the
low brass studio at DePaul University.
Arnold and Gizella had a high respect for education. Starting in the mid
80’s at masterclasses, either at home or
on the road, they allowed video tapes
only for archival purposes. These are
the centerpiece of the collection. Those
who are researching Mr. Jacobs’
teachings have used this resource and we
invite further researchers.
To help complete this collection, we are looking for donations
of material such as photos, recordings,
masterclasses transcripts, or whatever!
