Hendricks, Brittany Limited Range Etudes
This is not a beginning trumpet book. Though the
exercises in the following fourteen studies never
ascend beyond the top line of the treble staff,
they are designed for college students and
professional players who wish to:
The studies in this book will make demands on the
performer in nearly every area other than the
upper register-soft, rapid double- or
triple-tonguing; wide slurs; infrequently-used
keys; multiple tonguing in the low register;
unusual tonalities; facility with the third (and
fourth) valve; extended phrases. In some cases,
these demands may seem extreme or even
unrealistic; however, sincere practice over these
passages will almost certainly improve the
player's overall technique, and may make more
standard repertoire seem easier by comparison.
Above all, these etudes are intended to be
performed; whether in lessons or in front of an
audience, players should always strive for musical
expression and dramatic presentation. -the author
