Hi Abi,
Here’s your HW for the week.
Clarke 1 (#7,1) and 2 (#27,32,34) – Smooth connected, consistent air
Getchell – First study. Good tone, clear articulation, consistent smooth air
Links to both books:
Also, try to listen to some trumpet players this week. I think it’ll help you get an idea of a sound you like so you can have it in your ear. You can look for solo rep or orchestral if you would like. Here are some suggestions for both:
Solo:
Wanton Marsalis, Allison Balsam, Håkan Hardenberger, Thomas Hooten, Philip Smith
Orchestra:
Any Bernstein recording with New York (Philip Smith usually plays in these)
Berlin Philharmonic after 2004 (Gabor Tarkovi plays in these)
