Trumpet Voluntarily - Trumpet Method

Paul Baron’s “Trumpet Voluntarily” was written to accompany the many routine and etude books to teach what, when, and how to use those materials. Including a foreword by Wayne Bergeron, this guide you will teach you how to listen to your body and chops to practice more efficiently to get the quickest results. Using a “practice smarter, not longer” approach, Paul takes you through his thought process on what to practice and when based on the demands of your current work load. Areas of focus include chop building and maintenance, mouthpiece choices, playing lead trumpet, the role of the section player, how to maximize your practice of difficult technical passages, compression, pacing, styles, target note exercises, tongue arch, mute use, and warm ups of all types.
