He wrote a book which is called 'trumpet secrets', the Tongue Controlled Embouchure (TCE). He also teached Robert 'Bahb Civiletti', who is now one of the best baroque trumpet players in the world. (Mr. Civiletti is the 1st prize winner of the National Trumpet Competition for Baroque Trumpet 2004.)
The method is all about a focussed tone, perfect pitch, high notes and endurance. It is a rediscovered method of a technic which the clarino blaser in the 17th and 18th century were using.
