Expanding Intervals #1 for Trumpet | Exercise of the Week #34

Download the PDF of “Expanding Intervals #1

This week’s #EOTW is part finger workout, part flexibility exercise – a technical drill working a sequence of increasing intervals. This is just one basic permutation of how this pattern could be used – I’ll most likely publish a more comprehensive collection as I practice it more and figure out which one’s are really fun to play!

We want to hear you playing this exercise! Video yourself playing a key or two that you find challenging and share on Facebook or Instagram, tagging @AirflowMusicNYC. We’ll repost our favourites!
