Method for Trumpet Book 7

In the final book of this Method, Plog takes up Chordal and Interval subjects. The way in which these figures move across the compass of the instrument in challenging but accessible patterns, gives finger technique, lip flexibility and sound production excellent material to infuse improvement into the player’s accomplishments. This will be superlative medicine for refining your resonance across the registers and revealing aspects of your embouchure setting that might need attention. A crowning touch to a remarkable Method, The Plog Program.

The musical exercises, drills and etudes that Anthony Plog presents in the books of his Method for Trumpet are an extended library of progressively tuned materials designed for students and professionals at all levels of development. Warm-up Exercises and Etudes, Fingering, Tonguing, Flexibility, Chords and Intervals, Low Register, High Register, Power and Strength, and Final Etudes are the major areas Plog outlines and develops here.

The wealth of material is wonderful - a composer's mind combined with a trumpeter's experience and expertise yields a fabulous resource for all brass players. A unique feature of these books is the inclusion of original etudes at the end of every subject - etudes that employ and develop the techniques in that section of the Method.
