Taught by renowned trumpet player
David Krauss
David shares a variety of approaches on building flow from Cichowicz, Arban, and Snedecor.
Flow Studies
Using the Cichowicz Flow Studies and diminished arpeggios, David explains how to practice for a consistent, singing, resonant sound when moving up and down the instrument.
Art of Phrasing
David started practicing the Art of Phrasing studies from the Arban book after his first lesson with Wynton Marsalis. He shares what Wynton taught him about the importance of playing a beautiful, vocal melody with support from our air and tongue.
Advanced Lyrical Etudes
Using Etude VI from Phil Snedecor, David expands upon the concepts he's illustrated earlier in the course. He explains how we can make a challenging etude sound relaxed while maintaining support and engagement in the body.
