High Notes, Low Notes, and All The Notes In-Between, by John J. Haynie, Music Department, North Texas State University. Inspired largely by Ernest S. Williams' Secret of Technique Preservation, this book contains textual material and studies on embouchure development, tone and the breathing process, fingering and tonguing, together with a series of tonality studies on each tone of the chromatic scale. Within each tone are studies on long tones, scales, trills, lip slurs, intervals, tonguing, chords. Widely used as study material in colleges, and considered an effective, systematic approach for preservation of technical abilities.

From Irving Bush: 'This series of range and technique studies was written to assist the serious trumpet player to meet the demands and requirements placed upon him in this modern day and age. Results are attained through intelligent, consistent, and countless hours of practice. Spasmodic or erratic practice will only result in mediocre performance. Correct thinking and adequate practice are entirely dependent upon one another. The thinking period should precede the actual playing of the instrument. The proper approach is to think of how it is to be played and what elements are involved to play it successfully. Comments are made at the beginning of each series to serve as a reminder of proper procedures and playing techniques. Correct procedure is essential to good performance. The notes on the page are meaningless unless the performer knows how to perform them correctly.'.

After the hundreds of books that we have published and distributed over the decades, we had yet to include something devoted to the subject of trumpet mutes, which are such important tools for all trumpeters. Thanks to Louise Baranger, who states, 'The importance of owning good mutes cannot be stressed enough', we have produced this booklet which ought to have a place in any trumpet player's library.

In the introduction to 'Corners' Allan Colin writes: 'If you glance through these pages, do not be fooled by the diatonically simple configuration of notes. The challenge here lies in doing these exercises from top to bottom exactly as specified. The goal is to strengthen weak corner muscles which plague many trumpet players. In your effort to accomplish this it is imperative not to overdo it. As with any practice session where you are trying to straighten out a problem, the 'warm-up' and 'warm-down' exercises are essential The warm-up and warm-down exercises here are geared to prepare you for and relax you from this short but strenuous work-out.' This book is broken up into four sections, including articulations, corner 'close-ups', chromatics, and warm downs, each with an explanation of how to proceed to get the strongest embouchure possible.
