Endurance Builders - PARTS 1, 2 + 3 (save 25% for all 8 pages)

$12.00

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? :)

Inspired by composers such as Philip Glass, Steve Reiche, Tys Music and Brandon Ridenour, this flashy duet never stops! It takes advantage of finger combinations that sound harder than they are, enabling blazing speed and constant motion.

The world premiere was done at Rafael Mendez Summer Brass Institute 2024 in Denver, CO and was part of an ongoing experiment to create my own content using portable equipment many people already own. Video and audio was recorded with 3 common devices: an iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 11, and iPad Pro 12.9. Video editing was done in DaVinci Resolve (FREE professional software - I highly recommend it!).
