| Re: Cat Anderson Trumpet Method
i've never used it but have looked through it (a long time ago). I think that if you know what you are doing you can get alot from this book.
I say this because when I looked at this about 3 years ago (even though I thought I did) I didn't really know how to practice long tones and simple stuff like what Cat presents. I didn't learn until I started studying privately..
The long tone exercises are very similar to what my teacher has me do (a orchestral player BTW). This type of practicing helps develop your air and builds a strong foundation for playing in the higher register.
I've learned that when studying out of a book its important to understand the intent/purpose of the exercises so you can gain the most out of it. |
