14 Surprising Studies for Valve Instruments

This little study book is a small collection for beginning brass students using valve instruments. The eventual purpose is to add this study book to other correct methods. These studies can be used as pure fun or even as examination items. They were written out of my experience as brass teacher to be 'funny' aids for problems as ATTACK, SOUND, LIPSLURS, CHROMATICS, LEGATO, ARTICULATION and MUSICALITY (in sense of the correct placement of the breath place). Be creative using different articulations, rhythm patterns, volumes, velocities, slurring, etc. They can be a start to work in a amusing way towards problem solving situations. As you can see playing range is strict limited. Have fun. Paul Voet
