Roy Stevens

Roy Stevens

Roy Stevens (1918-1989), an American trumpet player and innovator, was the co-creator of the "Stevens-Costello Triple C Embouchure Technique" with William N. Costello.

Stevens considered himself the Embouchure Clinician at Columbia University's Associate Instructor Teacher's College. His book, out of print since his death, has been regarded as one of the most comprehensive trumpet method books of the 20th century, as it explains in-depth the physical and mental laws and aspects of trumpet playing.

The embouchure system that Stevens taught was handed down to his protégé Roy Roman.

From 'Final Bar' in "Downbeat Magazine", March 1989:

Roy Stevens, trumpeter with the Dorsey Brothers, Bunny Berigan, Benny Goodman, and on Coleman Hawkins' recording "Body and Soul", died of heart failure October 24 1989 in Riverdale, New York, at age 71. A teacher of embouchure technique, his students included Don Ellis, Maynard Ferguson, and Lew Soloff.
