  • A warn up must
Excellent book to use in conjunction with all method books. Lip slurs are a must do for all brass players. This book covers all players from beginners to professionals. I would recommend it to all brass players

  • Fantastic book.
I bought this book when I started playing the trumpet 8 months ago and it has helped me immensely. I think it really helped to build my range and endurance early on. Even now I heavily rely on it it for warm-ups and maintaining my embouchure. The premise of the book is that the upper register can be developed through lower register exercises. This makes the books exercises very accessible for beginners. In the first half it doesn't go above staff G, which should be well within the range of all but the newest players. I can't recommend this book enough. It's cheap and short, but I easily use it more than any other book. ... show more

  • Pretty Good
I have not had a chance to run through the entire book, but the calisthenics are pretty vast. Obviously they start simple and progressively get more involved and technical, but it is a great way to help keep the chops up to par. I use this mostly if I have not played in a while and I need to prepare for some type of gig. Great addition to any technical studies collection. ... show more

  • Embouchure Builder
Nice compact trumpet book to keep in your trumpet case and use as a warm up. Cheap price, speedy delivery. Highly recommended

  • Outstanding back to basics program
I recently returned to my horn after years of disuse. Began with the warmup routine that I used in my 20s. But that wasn’t really working. A friend recommended this book and it was a revelation. Duh. Start at the start! While I am back in the saddle with lead parts, this program is and will remain my warmup go to. ... show more

  • Very neat book!
It's only 12 pages of actual music, but what a neat book! It starts out low enough that a pretty new student of trumpet can start right in. The highest note in the first 8 exercises is G in the staff, to give you an idea. The idea this book is based on is that a player can't master the high range without having a solid low range. The exercises are really kind of fun, and it's easy to spend an hour or more working out of this book. ... show more

  • Like a workout program for trumpet players
Is embouchure building exciting? No. Are the results exciting? No doubt! What her your in your first year of band and want to earn that first chair position, or you've been playing for over 20 years and want to stay sharp, this "workout program" will do the job. My son is in 6th grade band and I've been at it for over 20 years. Do not underestimate the importance of building and maintaining a strong embouchure. ... show more

EXCELLENT! This really helps you biild in the correct way. I had stopped playing for 20 years and doubted I could get my lip and tone back. After only about three weeks with this book I am amazed with my flexibility, range, and tone! Great book. Just do exactly what it says to do and in the correct order. ... show more
