A possible plan
- double tonguing on one note- page 175 (instructions are on page 153)
- scales with page 177, or the basic scale pattern page 59,
***when seeing a sixteenth rest and three sixteenth notes the tonguing pattern is K-T-K or T-T-K
- Rhythmic Figure page 28 – 31
Be sure to do some practice with arpeggios and intervals (page 179). When you feel confident with your progress continue on to “The Slur and Double Tonguing”, page 183, and “Rhythmic Figure” on page 137. Later the “Theme” section starting on page 162 can be fun too! Remember to start slowly and use a metronome. The notes should have a beautiful sound, so use a steady flowing air stream and a hard “T” and “K” sound for clarity of articulation. You will need these skills should you want to play the Hummel Concerto (Listening).

There are two basic pieces in the trumpet repertoire from the Classical period that everyone knows, practices and loves. Last month, June 2015 News and Tips, I featured the Franz Joseph Haydn Concerto in Eb; this month, listen to the Concerto by Johann Nepomuk Hummel.
These artists have different approaches to the piece, yes; but both perform with flair, a beautiful sound and clear dazzling technique. It seems so easy when they play- try to emulate that quality in your playing.

This summer, I am practicing out of a new to me trumpet book; Jouko Harjanne’s Volume 1 – The Way to the Golden Trumpet Sound, Daily warming up and exercises (Lydke Musikverlag). This book is similar to materials found in Stamp, Schlossberg, Flow Studies etc. but different enough to be fun, useful and a change for increased concentration during practice sessions. An interesting and helpful book from a wonderful trumpet artist!
