Warm Up & Wind Power - Proper warm up is essential when it comes to endurance. Wind Power is the key ingredient to range. They both play a major role in being a great trumpet player. These two trumpet lessons are a 'must learn' for part time and come back trumpet players,as well as daily maintenance for active trumpet players.
|
The Tongue & Muscles of the Face - These two trumpet lessons are the foundation for keeping your air stream strong and consistent, and for taking the pressure off your lips which will strengthen your embouchure. Most chop problems are not lip problems, they are tongue and face problems.
|
Lips, Fingers and Flexibilities - Playing trumpet is an athletic activity. Just as athletes need to train their arms, legs, speed, and movements, trumpet players also need to train all areas relevant to their playing. Proper development in these areas are key in being a well rounded, complete trumpet player.

| The way you practice has a great influence on how much and how easy you learn and perform. This book starts with attitude, concentration, daily goals, and your physical readiness to perform. Learn to perform without stage fright, fear or apprehension by applying the material from this teaching series to your daily routine. |
Articulations and fingering are the elements that are crucial in becoming a complete trumpet player. Every note is started and stopped by the articulation of the tongue. All notes are separated by either your tongue placement or fingering change. It is important to develop these areas with patience and perfection. The mistake most trumpet players make is that they don't spend enough time developing these two areas at all levels, in all registers and all speeds. |

| Tone production is developed by the efficiency of the embouchure as set into vibration by the air stream. As the air passes through the lip's aperture, its force (or velocity) and to some extent aperture size and embouchure tension will guide the speed of vibration, which will determine frequency and pitch. In order to maintain embouchure control and strength it is vital that your breathing mechanisms operate in a relaxed and effortless manner. |
Nothing has been discussed more or as often in trumpet playing as the function and formation of the embouchure. Without a strong and well controlled embouchure, professional levels of performance can never be achieved. The beginning and early development of a well formed embouchure is very important if one wants to advance. However, in many cases beginners are left alone to play on whatever feels best or what we call the "hit-or-miss" plan.
