Scales and Arpeggios for Trumpet by Ken Saul 2008 This volume of exercises is especially for trumpet, but will be useful for many instruments in treble clef. It covers all major and minor scales and arpeggios, chromatic scales, diminished and augmented arpeggios, and some modal scales. When playing scales and arpeggios, feel the continual flow of air through the notes. Event though most of the notes are notated as tongued, also practice them slured to get the feel of blowing continually through the notes as they rise and fall. Keep this same feel of air flow as you tongue the notes. Where some passages get higher than about a G, alternate lower notes are given. Choose the most comfortable notes for your range and ability. Available online at www.ultrapureoils.com, along with other sets of educational materials especially written for trumpet players. It is also available at www.sibeliusmusic.com.
