Major Scale Expansion Studies for Trumpet

This is the eBook (in PDF format) version of the Major Scale Expansion Studies for Trumpet. Major Scale Expansion Studies for Trumpet By Eddie Lewis Over 200 scale expansion studies in all twelve major keys. More than 15 exercises per key. Major Scale Expansion Studies are an important part of Eddie Lewis' Tonalization Method for mastering scales. This is the book you will use as an introduction to the keys before you begin practicing the Tonalization Studies. There are instructions inside to give you the precise order of exercises. This book is mostly for students who have not yet mastered all twelve major keys, but it will also be of some benefit for those who already know "the scale" but struggle with them. If you can already play fluently in all twelve major keys, then it is better for you to skip this introductory book and start with the Tonalization Studies immediately. Major Scale Expansion Studies should not be confused with Band Scale Expansion Studies (also by Eddie Lewis). The Major Scale Expansion Studies are designed to cover your full current range. This is true regardless of where you are in range development so far. Simply play the exercises in order and stop when you reach the top of your current range. In contrast, the Band Scale Expansion Studies do not cover your full range. Band Scale Expansion Studies stop at the top of the octave (sometimes two octaves). The Band Scale Expansion Studies is a book designed to help students perfect their band scales, and is not appropriate as an introduction to the Tonalization Studies simply because the Tonalization Studies are full range exercises. We are not trying to stir you away from purchasing our materials, but we want you to have the correct book to fulfill your objectives. If you are trying to learn band scales, then the book you’re looking for is the Band Scale Expansion Studies. If however you are wanting to get started with the Tonalization Method for mastering your technique in all major keys, then this book, Major Scale Expansion Studies is the book your are looking for.
