STUDY # 2
This exercise is arguably the most famous
trumpet exercise in the world. Despite the fact that it is a simple pattern
applied to a major scale, I have seen students play this exercise for years,
yet be unable to do it without looking at the printed page.
REMEMBER
Anything that can be memorized should
be memorized for maximum benefit.
