Trumpet: Seven Valve Positions (Study Two)

   The register in this study is mild.  But keep in mind it can tax the embouchure if played for prolonged periods.
   Remember to crescendo when ascending and to decrescendo when descending.  Play the study as written.  Then repeat the entire study double tonguing.  Repeat once more slurring each measure.
   Exercises making use of the seven valve positions are good for increasing endurance, range, control and coordination of the lips, tongue, facial muscles and airstream.
