The Embouchure Builder

Excellent book to use in conjunction with all method books. Lip slurs are a must do for all brass players. This book covers all players from beginners to professionals. I would recommend it to all brass players

I bought this book when I started playing the trumpet 8 months ago and it has helped me immensely. I think it really helped to build my range and endurance early on. Even now I heavily rely on it it for warm-ups and maintaining my embouchure.The premise of the book is that the upper register can be developed through lower register exercises. This makes the books exercises very accessible for beginners. In the first half it doesn't go above staff G, which should be well within the range of all but the newest players.I can't recommend this book enough. It's cheap and short, but I easily use it more than any other book.

I have not had a chance to run through the entire book, but the calisthenics are pretty vast. Obviously they start simple and progressively get more involved and technical, but it is a great way to help keep the chops up to par. I use this mostly if I have not played in a while and I need to prepare for some type of gig. Great addition to any technical studies collection.

Nice compact trumpet book to keep in your trumpet case and use as a warm up. Cheap price, speedy delivery. Highly recommended

I recently returned to my horn after years of disuse.Began with the warmup routine that I used in my 20s.But that wasn’t really working. A friend recommended this book and it was a revelation.Duh. Start at the start!While I am back in the saddle with lead parts, this program is and will remain my warmup go to.

I am a "comeback" trumpet player, and this book has been very good for me. I'm not sure of the best way to use it, but I have been using the exercises as my daily warmup, 15-20 min.... I believe it is helping me to improve my sound, strength, flexibility and endurance. Like everything else, results are probably proportionate to the work you are willing to put into it.

EXCELLENT! This really helps you biild in the correct way. I had stopped playing for 20 years and doubted I could get my lip and tone back. After only about three weeks with this book I am amazed with my flexibility, range, and tone! Great book. Just do exactly what it says to do and in the correct order.

It's only 12 pages of actual music, but what a neat book! It starts out low enough that a pretty new student of trumpet can start right in. The highest note in the first 8 exercises is G in the staff, to give you an idea.The idea this book is based on is that a player can't master the high range without having a solid low range. The exercises are really kind of fun, and it's easy to spend an hour or more working out of this book.

A very good book, use it often 😊

I bought a copy for myself as I went back to playing the cornet after 20 years.i couldn't believe the amount of mistakes I have been making. Do you know that I actually bought another copy for the young player that sits beside me in band .....stop any bad habits before they form. A must buy for any player and an ideal gift.

exelente, quanto ao relaxamento dos musculos, e a fixação do tonsmantem um bom fluxo de ar em todas as articulações ótimo como aquecimentoe mantem uma otima flexibilidade sem presão no bocal

Perfetto da usare come complementare ad altri metodi.Esercizi progressivi, molto vari, focalizzati sul registro medio basso dello strumento.Consigliato!

Ce petit livre contient tout ce qu'il faut pour travailler sa souplesse et élargir son amplitude. Un classique bien pratique, j'y pioche quelques exercices pour m'échauffer quotidiennement.
