Daily Routines for the Student Trumpet Player

Features:
Daily Routines for the Student Trumpet Player is intended for junior high school through early college students, but also works perfectly for those more advanced players wanting to hone a particular skill or play a gentle yet all-inclusive daily routine. The routines in this book provide a comprehensive way to ensure that you practice all your fundamental trumpet skills every day. Practicing fundamentals is the most important practice session of your day because when your fundamental skills improve, everything you play gets better. Daily Routines contains eight routines: Beginning; Air Flow; Flexibility; Intermediate; Chromatics and Arpeggios; Interval; Advanced; and Duet. The exercises within each routine are organized into seven skill categories applied as a template: long tones and mouthpiece buzzing; flexibility; crescendo/diminuendo; intervals; articulation; range (first high then low); and chromatics and arpeggios. By combining the seven skill categories with each routine topic, Daily Routines assures that all of your fundamental skills will improve equally over time.
