Warm-ups, technical training and studies. 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. / Études et exercices / Etude / Trompette

To succeed as a trumpet player you must perform your section part impeccably, in rapport with the lead player. Think with the lead player's brain. Play it with him or her. Blow up to, not over his or her volume and intensity. Don't wait to hear what the lead player does or you'll be late. Vibrato comes from the lead player. If he's not using it, you're not using it. Dan Collette's book on lead and section trumpet playing is a very well thought out and extremely useful tool for all aspiring and professional trumpet players. In a common sense approach and playing in a variety of styles, Dan demonstrates and clearly explains his perspective of lead and section playing. The trumpet sectional quartets by Steve Guttman are excellent and the execution of these etudes on the CD as played by Dan Collette playing all 4 parts is flawless and nothing short of inspiring. This work should prove itself to be required listening and reading for all serious trumpet players.
