Product Overview
Daily Routines for Trumpet provides a systematic way to develop and improve fundamentals. There are 8 routines: Basic Routine, Drone, Minor, Starting with the Mouthpiece, Pentatonic, Chromatic and Octatonic, Duet and Easy Routine. Every routine covers fundamental skills including tone production, flexibility, technique, articulation, range, dynamic extremes and more. To develop and maintain fundamental skills, simply play one 30-minute routine a day. Nick Norton, Principal Trumpet of the Utah Symphony says: In Daily Routines for Trumpet, Stephen Dunn has created a valuable resource for trumpeters, student through professional. Included under one cover are eight groups of exercises that will advance the level of any dedicated player. Mr. Dunn incorporates traditional methods to improve one's tone, articulation, and finger technique. He also includes unique exercises of mouthpiece buzzing, lip bends and the use of drone pitches to improve range, intonation and flexibility. I regularly practice the routines in this book and I heartily recommend it to all serious trumpeters.
