Down to the Basement - Up to the Attic
Blowing your way around the horn

*Links marked with asterisk open a new window *
All recorded examples are done - rather informally - in my home basement music room, using my MacBook and the *Sound Studio program. It is unvarnished practicing - and you may hear house or cat noises, as well. The mp3 files ave been reduced to 40 kpbs or lower. Although there is no pretense of great audio fidelity, I hope that the listener will get an idea of how I practice these figures - warts and all!

These are basic blowing routines. Descending in to the low register to get the big, round, full, free,blow established - then ascending to the upper reaches by taking that vitalized wind delivery and putting an upper register focus and spin on it.

More 'Basement/Attic' routines will follow. Until they do, you can make up your own based on these patterns. Here is another way to cover register, blowing your way around the horn:

Flexibility
I like to think of these as blowing patterns, not lip exercises.
We play a wind instrument, not a lip instrument! |

| Etude Routines |
Develop a performance repertoire of etudes - meaning those that you have worked up to performance proficiency. Use these to make a balanced 15-minute routine. The standard 'etue canon' would be Rochut, Kopprasch, Blazhevich, and J.J. Johnson. Work to include the etudes of Tomy Pederson, Bozza, Maxted, and others. |
