Method For Trumpet - Book 1 (Warm-Up Exercises And Etudes)

Warm-Up Exercises and Etudes

By Anthony Plog

I've used this book nearly every day for about 10 years. I like to do these slowly and it they really help to open up your sound, make you move your air, and your ear gets used to the intervals used throughout each study so even your intonation improves...

!

WOW. At last a method of warm ups and air flow exercises that ALL my students can use. My students were tired of the repetitive nature of Stamp etc. and now look forward to the variety of daily exPLOGation studies. From the basic C- C1 student to advanced this book...

is so well conceived. Every one of my students have improved tone , range and flexibility by using Plog's warm ups. Adaptability is the key; my students move on to new concepts and then revisit sections when their range permits.

Excellent material that will develop tone, air usage and range. Use it to warm up, as a complement to lip slur exercises or as simple flow studies. Versatile and adaptable.

The first book in Plog's superb modern trumpet method is a collection of warm-up routines and warm-up etudes. These are not your usual boring, slurs-on-the-seven-partials warm-ups. There is something here for everyone--simple tonguing exercises, pedal tones, James Stamp-like note bends...

, and high register stuff. The 30 etudes are especially terrific, all challenging and perfect for use as flow or finger dexterity studies too I use this book all the time and love it. It has made warming up more fun and my playing more consistent. Plog is a genius.
