Res,

Please don't feel that I'm dodging your question, but it's simply impossible to recommend materials for you to work on without hearing you play to determine your needs. Every musician/trumpet player is marvelously unique and there is no "one size fits all" methodology (if someone suggests otherwise thank them and pay absolutely no attention).

Trumpet technique might be described as a subtle balance of flow, focus, and flexibility across the entire register and applied to a wide range of dynamics. Furthermore, the exercises that you practice are a means to an end (music), not an end themselves.

What does your teacher suggest?

Watching here,
EC
