I am an eighth grade trumpet player in my middle school's marching band. We are probably one of the best middle school bands in my state. Anyway, I'm fourth chair of twelve trumpets, and I am fairly good (most of us have been playing since fourth grade.) But I want to be a lot better because the high school band we're going to has high requirements. Any practice methods that I can do to improve (maybe even be able to solo scream in a few years)? Arbans method for trumpet and "long tones" (if you don't know what long tones are ask band director)
for lip slurs try the Schlosberg method for trumpet |
