This AIR (A.K.A. Air on a G String) is the 2nd movement from J.S. Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 (BWV 1068). It is possibly one of the best pieces ever written and often played at wedding ceremonies. Arranged for two trumpets (or 2 anythings, really!) by Chris Coletti.

We all want endurance, but strength training and 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 download includes all 3) will help get you there. They worked for me and they work for my students, and as a result are quickly becoming a staple addition amongst popular trumpet method books! Did I mention these make a great gift for trumpet players? :)
