A Trumpeter's Listening List |
|
The most basic performance challenge is to play one note perfectly, therefore, most warm-ups begin with long tones. The value in long tones is in the blowing; blowing against your best sound, undistracted by valves or motion of any kind. Learn to love the beautiful sound that you can make and always make a sound that you can love. Music is an art sculptured in sound and your tone color is the single most important element in your playing. --Judson Scott

CLASSICAL ROMANTIC CONTEMPORARY A Few Recommended Recordings The recordings listed below provide excellent examples of great brass playing, there are, of course, numerous additional examples. (OK, Jessye Norman is a vocalist not a brass player, but she creates such a huge, breath supported tone, that she is a good role model for any wind instrumentalist.)
