After this there are some range exercises on each page. | It's an interesting book with some thoughtful commentary by Cat about trumpet playing and life. I think it's worth reading. The excercises are similar to other methods for developing high range with the common thread that it takes a significant investment of time and effort to develop the extreme high range.
