Appropriate for junior high and high school trumpet players, Daily Routines for the Student Trumpet Player is a systematic approach to help student trumpeters develop and maintain fundamental trumpet skills. Designed to challenge students but not overwhelm them, there are eight routines: Beginning, Airflow, Flexibility, Intermediate, Chromatics and Arpeggios, Intervals, Duet, and Advanced Routine. Each routine incorporates the following skill categories: long tones and mouthpiece buzzing, lip slurs, crescendo/diminuendo, intervals, articulation, high and low playing, arpeggios and chromatics. By applying these skill categories as a template to each routine, students are sure to develop all of their skills equally.

"Daily Routines for the Student Trumpet Player by Dr. Bruce Barrie is very well organized, progressive in difficulty and excellent for players of all levels. I like the way the book slips into more difficult exercises as the book progresses and that the multiple tonguing, lip bends, wider intervals, etc. always stress staying relaxed and playing with a good sound. I think these routines are very useful and should be out there for trumpeters of all levels. An excellent job!" - Allan Dean, Professor of Trumpet, Yale University, Saint Louis Brass Quintet, American Brass Quintet, New York Brass Quintet
