Graded Studies on the Fundamentals of Scales for Trumpets

And by Roy Main. Contains exercises and studies in duet form designed to develop a student's knowledge of and ability to play in all major and minor keys. It contains scale exercises that make it possible for even the most inexperienced player to begin learning scales in any key. Minor scales are also included. Graded Studies On The Fundamentals of Scales is available in both treble clef (concert pitch) and bass clef formats to encourage students to play with fellow students. The benefits achieved from playing duets are greatly enhanced when performed by instruments in different ranges, such as a trumpet and trombone, or a clarinet and bassoon. This is because playing in octaves magnifies intonation discrepancies and subsequently enhances a player's awareness of these problems in pitch.
