From the book "A Complete Guide to Brass" by Scott Whitener: (pub. 1990) Basic guidelines for the trumpet player - transposition, all those horns in different keys, and intonation are among the topics covered. The basics of how our family of instruments work. Some tips for those of you just starting out. If you want to know how the trumpet came about, read this. Here, old meets new. You will find Cichowicz, Rapier, Krauss, DiMartino, Bilger and a bit of my own two-cents. |
Definitely worth a peruse. This is my
collection of text sources, some traditional and some NOT so traditional,
that are beneficial to all musicians (especially the Strasberg excerpts).
If you want a lengthy list of Brass sources, also check out the
bibliography at the end of "The Complete Guide to Trumpet"
above.
A copy of this hung in Vern Reynolds' studio and I thought some of you would like to read this. OPEN YOUR MIND and YOUR LUNGS!! You don't have to be a Yogi to benefit from these. Here are websites containing stretches for our backs, arms, chests and legs. Also, some balancing poses and meditations to enhance concentration and focus. Open your mind and give it a try! |
