A creative and thorough way to warm-up and keep your chops in shape in less than 30 minutes daily!

Description
The Warm Up is an integral component of every brass player?s daily practice. Brass teachers have always been at odds as to what a good warm-up should consist of. My teacher Claude Gordon believed that there should be no prescribed warm-up, as the first notes of the day would fill that need. Others believe in a set warm-up that is done the same every day and never changes. And then there are those teachers who believe a warm-up should cover every aspect of playing, sometimes lasting two hours or more. I end up in the middle of all this with The Progressive Warm-Up.

Most trumpet players blow downward a bit too much. as a consequence, the pressure point lies on the lower lip. The result: .a thick, dull tone without treble and smoothness. The present technical exercises help to shift the pressure point to the upper lip. Thus, a much better treble, a finer tone and generally a better embouchure is gradually achieved. This also helps to keep the lung more open when blowing and to develop better lung volume and strength. Not least, it helps to avoid postural impairment, e.g. damaged discs or atrophied lungs.
Contains all-important information on trumpet techniques, a 'check-up' for advanced players and professional trumpet players.

Go with the Flow for Trumpet by Eddie Lewis includes twenty-one original flow study etudes tailored for use with the Daily Routines book. With three etudes for each of the seven levels of the Daily Routines book, Go with the Flow with simple quarter-note and half-note flow studies limited in range to tuning note C. It progresses to advanced flow study etudes which cover a full professional range (to G above high C). The etudes systematically cover all twelve keys and a variety of time signatures.

While the Go with the Flow book was originally intended to be used as a supplement to the more popular Daily Routines, it is also used by some trumpet players as a more musical alternative to a physical trumpet warm-up. The etudes progress slowly in range, length and difficulty offering a logical progression for someone who is tired of warming up on amusical exercises.
