Additional info/contents	Strong fundamental technique is the cornerstone of a successful musical experience but cannot come at the expense of a student’s enjoyment of music and their motivation to improve. These ‘Selected Exercises for Trumpet’ are a concise tool to help your students develop good routines and practice habits. Each page is a stand-alone activity, but all require you to be thinking constantly about a relaxed and controlled airstream. Complexity of the patterns has generally been avoided to allow students to focus on what really matters: a beautiful sound with a natural and relaxed musical flow. You may notice that even with many of the ‘articulation’ style exercises, the focus is mainly on ‘articulated air’. This is a concept that is good to reiterate with students, making sure that the air always drives the tongue and never vice-versa. Some of these exercises are based around common patterns by Arban, Clarke, and Schlossberg, followed by variations of approach or articulation. These variations are a starting point for students to come up with their own versions of these exercises that suit what they are trying to accomplish. Independent thought and self-appraisal are crucial aspects of the learning process. You may notice that there is little mention of ‘embouchure’ within these pages. This is deliberate. So often, a student may blame their chops for a problem that can be easily solved by breathing and supporting correctly. That is not to say that care over mouthpiece placement etc should not be taken, but more that this is something that needs to be looked at individually with each student.
