For this Exercise of the Week, Bryan Davis presents his version of a drill commonly known as Target Practice, which is used to develop accuracy in playing pitches and rhythms. This exercise can and should be practiced outside of the notated range and rhythmic patterns – they are intended purely as a template.

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.

In this video, Bryan Davis presents another Alternative Technical Study. This time, it’s a 12/8 exercise inspired by Clarke #3 – the triplet feel is developed by arpeggiating the major chords (I & IV) as major 6th chords, along with the regular dominant 7th chord on the V. Fun and challenging to play!

In this video, Bryan Davis presents a variation on the classic “Clarke #2” exercise – the 2nd Study from Herbert L Clarke’s seminal “Technical Studies for the Cornet”. In this version, the pattern is applied to the minor pentatonic scale, rather than the original major scale.
