When I first bought this book from my local music store, I had embouchure problems and this was pretty difficult for me so I left it alone. Recently I practiced it and got results instantly! I was hitting higher register notes and they weren't squeaks either. At the same time it improved my tone in all registers and the slurs definitely help with endurance. Definitely recommend this book to any serious trumpet player.
Did I really need another chops book? Actually I did. The exercises are challenging but essential. I'll never be a screamer (hmm, maybe I will), but it's definitely helping my range. All the exercises are on open harmonics, occasionally calling for a fingered low major third. Not for the beginner though; even a year ago (after six years as a comeback player) this book would have scared me off, but I guess I'm ready for it. I wouldn't advise doing these exercises every day, but that's just me. This one is a must-have, along with Arban's, Clarke, Flexus, etc.
Good to see this book still in print. The fundamentals, ....the basics are the most important. This book was instrumental in helping me. Purchased this book for a student of mine. Got here fast and in good shape for me.
This item was recommanded by my American brass instructor Kurt Thompson, Santa Monica Calif. , in order to improve my lip flexibility. After decades as a lead trumpeter in big bands my "chops" are a bit to thick and most of all to rigid.Happy Easter !! Best wishes Anders Wahlin
