Endurance Builders (2 of 3)
We all want endurance, but long tones only get you so far. Developing an approach to playing that is efficient and effortless is the only way to achieve lasting endurance as a trumpeter without getting injured. An excellent benchmark is the ability to lip-trill—once you can do this the trumpet becomes an easy instrument to play! These exercises (this is 2 of 3) will help get you there. They worked for me and they work for my students!
