Modern Warm-Up Method for Trumpet is a distinct approach to daily warm-up that breaks down exercises into graduated difficulties, lengths, and keys in four areas: breathing, long-tone, flexibility, and articulation in a progressive and logical way, based on the pedagogy of the Chicago school. The exercises are accompanied by helpful pedagogical advice, presented in an easy-going and brief format. Programs for different routines are suggested, emphasizing the flexibility of the approach.
Thirty-eight separate drone tracks for Bb trumpet help develop intonation, timing, and tempo, and are part of the method. The mp4 tracks may be downloaded from this page, below.

The variety of exercises, as well as a well-formulated progression of difficulties, allows for a coherent path of technical consistency that will surely help the musician in your performances in the most distinctive musical styles." —Paulo Ronqui, PROFESSOR OF TRUMPET AND CHAMBER MUSIC, CAMPINAS STATE UNIVERSITY—BRAZIL PERMANENT MEMBER OF GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC OF “INSTITUTO DE ARTES” |
