Beyond all of the excellent advice you've received, I suggest you contact
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/WindSong_Press/

The book about Arnold Jacobs and his techniques is a real eye-opener.  I
have heard a clinic given by the brothers Childs, and all I can say is that
their physiology is about 50 years behind what is here in the US.  They are
extremely fine players in their own rights; however, the terminology they
use will mislead all but the most talented players.

As a minor historian of the history of the pedagogy of brass instruments, I
must tell you that (in the past) several years of solfege training were
required before starting on any wind instrument.  In fact, some of today's
best players (continental, that is) did not start playing until their teens
after YEARS of solfege training.
