Leading Twin Cities trumpet pedagogue David Baldwin, a prominent member of the International Trumpet Guild, has created a book of etudes packed full of exercises for building endurance and strengthening the embouchure. Playing with musicality while maintaining the strength to do so is a vital aspect of trumpet technique, and has yet to be addressed fully in method-book form until now. Lips of Steel is sure to become an essential part of the trumpet player's curriculum. For intermediate students.
