Eight of his former euphonium students, all of whom are also professional euphoniumists, were interviewed, and the results are compiled in this chapter.

Chapter VII contains information concerning the genesis and popularization of euphonium literature that was a direct result of Bowman's efforts or prominence as a musical artist. A summary of the study is contained in Chapter VIII, as are conclusions and suggestions for further study.
