Elementary Training for Musicians from Paul Hindemith was originally published in 1940 and still is a unique piece of its kind. In contrast from many music schools written by academic musicians and theoretician it was written by the man who could play any instrument in orchestra, could arrange any song for a different music ensembles and was one of the most motivating teachers of his time. This is the reason why is this book still essential reading for students of music, their teachers and professional musicians.
