Description
Not just a study book, nor solely an excerpt book, Practical Tools for Trumpet takes a longer view to trumpet playing in ensemble. McGregor adds his own favorite exercises and drills to a discussion of Clifford Lillya's legacy for trumpet study, along with a wealth of solo and orchestral excerpts (most in a more complete form than found elsewhere), with a special focus on section performance. McGregor studied with Lillya at the University of Michigan, and then went on to a successful career as an orchestral trumpeter for almost 40 years. He shares a wealth of knowledge, tips, and tricks in this impressive manual. (168pp. spiral-bound)
