“BEST SOUND”
Practice
A new find for me, although published in 2012, is a wonderful book by Fernando Morais. Pequenos Estudos Brasileiros para instrumentos de metal (Brazilian Short Studies for Brass Instruments – edition MusiMed ISBN: 978-85-7092-036-2). Compilations of the Brazilian Songbook and of folk music it is a great collection of melodies and challenging rhythms for those unfamiliar with Brazilian music. Similar to some early French trumpet methods each melody is learned as a solo technical study followed by a duet of the same material. You will learn different dance styles and the rhythms that make them special. This is a way of learning about and understanding the history of a different culture. I think they are terrific and well worth your investigation. Mr. Morais is a horn player and composer who has written many compositions.
Listening
This is a charming piece for trumpet, here demonstrated by Philip Collins who has both a beautiful sound and very polished technique.

Re-Visit
I would say that Christmas work takes much practice and time; still my triple tonguing practice is getting a work out. The Offenbach waltz has some strong challenges in the triple tonguing sections. Obviously, endurance is an issue as some sections are 40 measures long. I think the octaves and varying wider intervals are a challenge.

Examples of intervals issues
My interval exercise helps me work out the skips. I what to develop control ascending or descending. In the future I will transpose this to other keys and also practice in different registers. I will probably expand the interval space so as to be able to do intervals wider than an octave. I started doing each measure one time and then increasing the number of repeats. Keep the air moving and think “Best Sound” and beautiful melody. Try not to approach this as a technical excersie.
I am considering changing the format of News & Tips for 2020. I am not sure this has been helpful enough compared to my goals.
As the year finishes, I wish you and wonderful holiday season and for the New Year may health and happiness be yours.
Best wishes and thank you for visiting trumpetroutines.com !!
