Advanced Flexibility Exercises for Trumpet

Flexibility is an aspect of trumpet performance that every trumpeter must confront. Armando Ghitalla (1925-2001) was principal trumpet with the Boston Symphony 1951 to 1979. Later, he was professor of trumpet at the University of Michigan (1979-1993) and Rice University starting in 1994.

Advanced Flexibility Exercises for Trumpet is a systematic set of exercises to help trumpeters learn flexibility on the instrument. While most flexibility books deal with flexibility exclusively in slurring, Ghitalla approaches the study of flexibility from the standpoint of both slurring and articulation, which are equally important in trumpet performance.
