Bend & Flex #1 for Trumpet | Exercise of the Week #16

For this Exercise of the Week, Bryan Davis presents a set of exercises he’s been using lately to level up his own flexibility practice, by adding half step note bends into traditional lip slurs. This is a short set, just between the 2nd and 3rd partials, but the principle could be applied
to any group of partials.
