Re: Cat Anderson Trumpet Method

I guess buzzing on my hose-a-phone for the 30 minute drive home counts for long tones? Adding to my regular, not as long as Cat Anderson, long tone exercises later in the afternoon. Do you guys think long tones could be good for a warm down? I can play long tones during the 9:00 pm local news for an hour.

From fourth space C to high C would take 160+70= 230 minutes of practice time. That is nearly 4 hours. I guess I'll have to quit my day job.
This is probably what Bill Chase was doing. It is hard to argue with, and certainly not justified in questioning, the method if this is what Bill Chase did to get his level of skill.

Body builders have proven many times that isotonic and isometric exercises work. That is essentially what we are doing when we practice.

I can imagine what the bus ride with Cat Anderson was like.
