 FIRST STUDY
TRACK 4
Back to basics. This is a simple exercise, but you will be amazed with the
results. There can be a slight crescendo ascending, and a decrescendo when
descending. This study frees your mind to focus on letting your air do the
work. You should play this exercise in one breath. For variety, practice this
study single tongued to reinforce clean attacks.

 SECOND STUDY
TRACK 5
This entire study should be played at the dynamic of piano. Focus on a
smooth air flow and keeping your corners firm. Practice as written, and then
with a very light single tongue. This study will help you determine where
notes in the upper register slot.

 FIFTH STUDY
TRACK 8
Like the fourth study, there should be a slight crescendo to achieve the top note, this
time with an intervallic leap. This is an intensified version of the previous study, so make
sure your air is moving through the trumpet. You are building muscle memory as well as
strengthening your corners.
