Brass in Color - Scale Studies: Trumpet, Book Two (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949670486)

Brass in Color scale studies for trumpet is a seven-book series that introduces students to five-note and one-octave scales. Brass in Color scale studies also introduce students to scale patterns, etudes and the use of key signatures written in major and minor keys.

There are three sections in each scale studies book. Students can check off their progress after finishing the exercises in each section. In the first section students identity the letter name for each note of the scale while practicing the correct fingerings using the color-coded tablature. Students then play the scale using different articulation techniques. Finally, the student should learn to play the scale from memory. In the second section students practice scale patterns using the notes of the five-note scale. In the third section students practice etudes (melodic and technical studies) based on each five-note scale.
