  • Re-Visit

This July and August I have be enjoying using my Irons book (Earl D. Irons 27 Groups of Exercises for Trumpet and Cornet, Southern Music Company, 1952). It is a great book for developing lip-flexibility, endurance and strength. I will probably go back to the Charles Colin Complete Trumpet Advanced Lip Flexibility book (3 volumes in one) in September (my standard book for lip flexibility); but right now this is on my stand! It really gets you focused on your breathing. You should use big deep breaths to play what appear to be very simple exercises. Use your metronome and concentrate. Try it, I bet you will see a big difference in your playing if you have never used this book before.
