Twenty Interesting Etudes for the Developing Trumpet Player: The Challenges of Range and Need for Intermediate Etudes

Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
The upper register is one of the slowest elements of a trumpet player’s fundamentals to develop due to the demands placed on the embouchure. 20 Interesting Etudes for the Developing Trumpet Player was written to provide intermediate etudes in a variety of musical styles that will challenge the student technically and musically, within a reasonable range of f# to g’’. This document gives a historical perspective on the challenges of range within the context of available trumpet books starting at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Some of the most commonly used etude books today are discussed as well as suggestions for new additions to the intermediate repertoire. Limitations of range in young players, owing to the difficulties caused by orthodontic braces, are explored and several solutions are offered for the teacher to help the student through those challenges. Finally, each of the etudes in Twenty Interesting Etudes for the Developing Trumpet Player by Ted Clark is examined for how they address common challenges for the intermediate trumpet player, thus providing a welcome addition to the intermediate repertoire.
