Hey,
I read the article by Craig Morris. I believe that article is a great description of how we need to think of the physical side of trumpet. We need to work on our reed as well as working on the fundimentals. I studied under Mr. Thompson for two years, and gained enormusly from using the BB book. In the morning I get a feel for the horn by playing a few notes. Then I do exercises 1-4, and occassionally 9, and/or a high note one. At one time in the recent past I was playing most all the exercises in succession. I now have different demands on my playing, and don't have the time to do all of them. I find that if I play the first four "basic" exercises, I am ready for whatever the day throws at me.
