FLOW

Included here are all the exercises in the FLOW section of the The Jazz Trumpet Routine.

Each recording is call-and-response style, giving an example of the sound of the exercise and then leaving space for you to play. I recorded and edited all the recordings from my home in Bloomington, Indiana, and they are uploaded as high-quality, 320-kbps mp3 files.

Half & Full Chromatics are set to half note = 40 bpm. Double Chromatics are set to half note = 35 bpm. If the tempo is uncomfortable for you (either too fast or too slow), either pause the recording when it’s your turn to play, and/or download the recordings and adjust the tempo so that you can hear, sing, and play the exercise clearly and musically. As you become comfortable at this tempo, adjust the speed accordingly.
