| So, what you want to know is how to create a general practice program that involves the ingredients neccesary to make a complete trumpeter.
Okay, now I "get it".
1) A warm up that includes making sounds that are clear and that reactivates the fingers and articulation
2) Goldman put out a good book for articulation that is a nice extension of the Arban Method
3) You should be striving to learn all the 14 studies and solos at the back of the Arban method
4) You should have a working knowledge of the transpositions A, C, D, Eb, F, and E. Use the Sachse book.
5) Upper lips slurs are good for endurance - page 44 of Arban's bottom of the page
