Hi everybody; I hope we are all doing well. Today I am offering as a free download, some of the finest studies ever written for trumpet. These are the Schlossberg interval studies. I have adapted and expanded them for intermediate level students, all the while keeping the integrity of the original studies. You and your students will get hours of enjoyment and success with these wonderful studies. Here is an excerpt from the introduction of
The Complete Schlossberg Intervals.
https://bolvinmusic.com/product/variations/

Daily Drills & Technical Studies by Max Schlossberg is one of the staples of modern trumpet pedagogy. It’s use by university instructors and private teachers is extensive and may only be surpassed by Arban and Clarke. The book however was not actually written by Schlosberg and is somewhat incomplete, most notably in its most creative and interesting sections; Intervals and Octave Drills. Also, many of these beautiful and artistic studies are not accessible for the intermediate level player due to range considerations and there is little instructional guidance. It is for these reasons that I have created this addendum, utilizing selected exercises from #38 – 55. All said there are 22 exercises on 25 pages presented progressively beginning with their lowest possible key and continuing upward to Schlossberg’s original key. This makes these wonderful studies playable for many more players.

Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response to my new book “Variations On Great Trumpet Methods”. I received many requests for guidance on how to approach such a large amount of material, so I created FOUR lesson plans; Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced and Professional. The Lesson Plan is free to download as is our 26-page Sampler, so if you don’t have the book you can get a good taste for free. And for a limited time, all PDFs and eBook bundles are 30% off with the code 30off.
