Great playing and advice! My teacher in college, Nick Norton, who was principal trumpet of the Utah Symphony suggested that we should crescendo up the highest note in each 8-note segment in measures 6 and 7. Not that it's a huge deal or anything.
If only we would have had a resource like this when I was in high school in the late '70s and early '80s! We had to figure it out ourselves. But hey, some of us still made all-state!
The characteristic studies are great ..I switched to baritone from trumpet back when I was in school and kept playing the studies.. Just stayed on treble clef music cause I already knew it.. The cadenza page in the arbans book is pretty fun to play around with too..
amazing things can happen when you practice. yesterday i could only play the first line. now i can play through it. a little dirty with the flats but otherwise okay
Sounds great. In my humble opinion to make the chops more efficient the first 16 bars should be worked out so that there is no break at all. This etude in my opinion is the most difficult of the arban etudes because of the physical demands on trumpet student. More than half my life playing trumpet and I have played it correctly only a handful of times.
Don't sell yourself short! Keep practicing and improve every day! Even if you don't make it to region this year, you will be closer to making it next year because you are working hard every day.
Hi Dr. Shook! Just wanted to say thank you so much for these etude studies! I was just curious, are you going to make one for the third etude? That seems to be the toughest for me and I would really appreciate some proffessional guidance. Thanks
+ChidsterXD Thank you! I just started working on the third etude. I'm pretty busy and have not been able to dedicate as much practice time as I would like. Good luck!
Yes, I will be doing the other two as I get the time to put them together. Working on having #1 up in a couple of weeks. I will not be doing the jazz etudes.
not gonna lie, I've been practicing since these etunes came out and I'm struggling, will you be uploading tips and tricks videos this year? we got lucky last year with those etunes. Once again thanks for your upload! and good luck to anyone trying out this year!
+Elijah Garcia I will try to get to posting the tips and tricks. I recently have been appointed chair of our music department at Lamar, so I don't have as much time as I used to! Good luck!!
Tempo is relative. There is no such thing as a perfect tempo, it really just depends on how fast or slow you play the sections before or after. Yes, the tempo in each section needs to be consistent, but the individual tempi of the sections may differ based on your ability and phrasing. The important thing to remember is that you are a SALESMAN. Everyone else is selling this same piece of music, but may not sell it the same way. You just need to be as convincing as possible with your way. Yes, still observe all of the "ink" and play what's written, but there is a lot of phrasing/musicality that is not written. Play around and have fun with it and you will eventually find your own voice! Good luck!

I like how you are providing an in-time process during the etude.

Okay that's fine I was just curious is all. I've already worked out the part i had trouble with so its fine.
is there any pages in the arban book you recommend for this etude?
+Ryan D The arpeggio and scale exercises would be excellent.
are you gonna do the other ones we do for region, I was also wondering if you do jazz music?
Yes, I will be doing the other two as I get the time to put them together. Working on having #1 up in a couple of weeks. I will not be doing the jazz etudes.
Any advice for after the small break going into the sweet part

Congratulation to you sir!
So if my district played these etudes my 8th grade year, is it likely by my senior year I'll have to play these? Are they on a 4 year rotation??
Is the sweet part actually supposed to go 112 BPM? I played it at that speed and it seemed much too fast.
