It's been a hard week, I'm completely
rewriting ALL the site, I had some problems tracking file's
downloads and I had to set specific pages for each file... sorry
about that but, you know... I did this site also to get and idea of
how much people like my music...
I've added more that 100 EXERCISES!!! Mostly Arban's
It's impossibile to keep track of what I have added today so I will start again from today, sorry again!
Anyway, there is a NEW SECTION: CADENZAS (in Arban), I've recorded it all...
MOREOVER...
I'm doing a complete graphical redesign of the site, it will be thanks to my wife!!! In a few days it will be up!!!
STAY TUNED!!!

The first person to contact me since I
started this website has been David Bolton, he told me that as soon as he would
have bought a microphone he would have recorded something for
me.
A promise is a promise, so... From now on every piece played by someone else than me will have the player's name after the song's name...
Simple!
He will record something from the "Art Of Phrasing" in the Arban book, the first one he sent me is Pag 191 N.3
Moreover there is my, now, usual big update of Arban:
Staccato: Pag 18 N. 36,37 and Pag 23 N.4,5 and Pag 34 N.33,34
Legato: Pag 40 N.7,8 and Pag 49 N. 38,39
Chromatic: Pag 77,78 N.5,6
The Turn: Pag 94 N.5,6
More Advanced Studies: Pag 131 N.8,9
Tonguing: Pag 155 N.3,4 and Pag 175 N.79,80
The Art Of Phrasing: Pag 1,2,3 (David Bolton!!!)

Basic Daily Routine in Mp3 and a lot
of Arban

I've been asked by a friend of mine to
record the easy daily routine (he started playing a few months ago)
and I've been happy to do it!
Now you have a new page for it!
Here is the link!
Moreover I thought it was better for you (and me, of course!) to record a couple of exercises for each section of the Arban book everyday. It's better even for me to study different kind of technical stuff everyday!!!
Today I really recorded A LOT OF STUFF!
Staccato: 13,14,15 Pag 26 and 26,27 Pag 31
Slurred: 3,4 Pag 39 and 34,36 Pag 48
Chromatic Scales (NEW SECTION!!!) 1,2 Pag 76

Gonna Fly Now!

Today my twin came to visit me and
brought 2 trombones...
He said he could play higher than I do...........
I'm a trumpet player! He cannot beat a trumpet player in something! The trumpet always wins!!!
Anyway we recorded a short version of Gonna Fly Now with and without trombone.
You will tell me which is the best!
To be honest he played a really impressive high G lick in that piece! But to be even more honest I played a HIGH A in James Bond...
I told you a trumpet player cannot lose!
Ahahahah!

New Section: Sheet Music!!!

I've started today a new section
because I feel showing Mp3 files sometimes is not enough: hearing
someone who can play something is nice but knowing how he get's to
that point is another thing!
In the sheet music page you'll find some short pdf files which explain the simple exercises I found to be very productive if played correctly...
I personally don't like Colin-like stuff as I found them good only for people able to play them, not for people who want's to learn them: writing very long sequence of major arpeggios doesn't help learning arpeggio, one should learn how to slur shorter leaps...
By the time you have acquired this skill maybe you are good enough to transpose a single line into several keys starting from a short guide line.
This is exactly what I wrote in my Daily Routine.

Today no music (I woke up at noon...)

Yesterday politics kept me awake up to
2.30 am....
I woke up at noon, I had lunch and ran to work, no trumpet today!
Anyway, I received one email from Bert Lochs who made me think about restructurating the site: it seems that reaching the Mp3 files is not so easy (I agree with him) so now every page has a direct link to the download section.
Ciao!
