Daily Routines for Trumpet (Second Edition)(Foreword by Tom Hooten)

Daily Routines for Trumpet (Second Edition)(Foreword by Tom Hooten) Daily Routines for Trumpet by Christopher Moore is suitable for advanced high school through professional trumpet players. Daily Routines is a comprehensive way to ensure that you practice all your fundamental trumpet skills every day. Practicing fundamentals is the most important practice session of your day because when your fundamental skills improve, everything you play gets better. Daily Routines contains eight routines: Basic, Articulation, Lyrical, Flexibility, Technique, Accuracy, Short, and Duet. Each routine is further divided into seven skill categories: tonal ease and beauty of sound; technique; flexibility; resonant low playing; crescendo/diminuendo; articulation; and range (high and low). By combining the seven skill categories with each routine, Daily Routines assures that all your fundamental skills will improve equally over time. “Dr. Moore’s Daily Routines for Trumpet presents an exceedingly thorough, systematic approach to developing solid fundamentals of trumpet playing. His book is truly a blueprint filled with diverse exercises that are practical, comprehensive, and meticulously throughout. As a respected performer and pedagogue, his creative approach to sensible practice routines is tastefully presented with so many little gems that will inspire learning.
