Every trumpet player has at least one thing in common: we occasionally spend too much time focusing on our “chops”. This bundle is here to remind you that the absolute foundation of making music on a brass instrument isn’t aperture control or corner strength, it’s air. This includes all styles and techniques. Any of the masters will tell you that key to playing high, low, fast, or slow is proper breath control.

Our goal should be to make trumpet playing as easy as possible; the less we have to work, the more we can focus on the music. The titles in this bundle will coach you through techniques, skills, and exercises to help you achieve trumpet ZEN.
