During the years that Claude occupied the a t first trumpet chair in the Columbia k hi 0|*e Z Broadcasting System Staff Orchestra in W*io is S Hollywood, he distinguished himself for °n his sup erior musicianship. musicianship. With With his brilliant tone» his great facility, and his extraordinary accuracy, Claude always turned in outstanding performances that contributed greatly to the success of our orchestra. As a musician and with much respect for Claude in our many years of professional work together, I highly acclaim anything he has to say about the trumpet. What What Musical Conductor is even more more wonderf won derful ul is that in my CBS Television estimation, i t 's the the fi r s t book book on trum trumpe pett Hollywood, Calif.

BIOGRAPHY Claude Gordon was bom in Helena, Montana, to James Austin and Nellie (Elge) Gordon. Both of his parents, his brothers and sisters were all accomplished performers and formed a family orchestra playing for radio stations and hotels in the northwest. His early training came under the experienced guidance of his composerconductor father and his concertpianist mother. Having begun his music study at the early age of eight, Claude was cornet soloist of the Helena High School Band while still in the fifth grade. His early professional training was extensive in local bands and orchestras including symphony, theaters and radio. He moved to Los Angeles and studied trumpet for many years with the late Dr. Herbert L. Clarke and Louis Maggio. He played with many of the great traveling orchestras and most of the major hotels and theaters on the west coast. He played in the motion picture studios at Los Angeles and many NBC and CBS radio shows. Claude was first trumpeter for the CBS Broadcasting Company for eleven years under prominent conductors such as: Lud Gluskin, Wilbur Hatch, Mark Warnow, Leith Stevens, Paul Weston, the late A1 Sack and many others. ^ 3 I In 1950 Claude formed his own orchestra to do recording for Capitol Transcriptions and since then has recorded for different companies including Vogue, Liberty and Warner Brothers. In 1959 "Claude Gordon and His Orchestra" won the title "Best New Band in America" in a nationwide contest of 183 bands from the United States and Canada. The most severe critics are unanimous in their praise of his splendid ability. Claude Gordon passed away on May 16,1996.

THIS IS A BOOK ON HOW TO PRACTICE Many are the ideas and phobias concerning breathing, mouthpiece placement, use of the lips, use of the diaphragm, pressure, no pressure, etc. The student in a constant search to improve his playing and to gain the reg ister, power and control required today becomes so involved in this maze of ideas that he neglects the one item necessary to develop this register, power and control; and that is, How to Practice. I find that this is the most misunderstood factor of brass students. Most troubles of the anxious player can be traced to a lack of routined development. This book is designed to systematically develop strength and muscle coordination along with wind control so that the student will play naturally and easily as hisfears disappear. Practice must be done with a constant goal in mind just as in the construction of a tall building. The start is made by building a strong foundation upon which a skyscraper may be erected. This is an orderly process. First the trenches are dug. Next the forms are built. Then the cement is poured. The cement must dry. Then come the floors, the sides and finally the roof. Each item must come in its order until a firm , solid construction job is completed. So it is with the brass instrument. Altogether too many students try to put on a roof before they have even built a foundation, and trouble starts immediately. From then on, one item develops faster than anything else; and that is, fear. Impatience is the enemy of the ambitious player. The reason is because you are developing and coordinating muscular action and cannot rush ahead any faster than nature will allow. In trying to proceed too rapidly, the student often times tears down faster than he builds up. Too often the stu dent is lip conscious to the point that all emphasis is placed on this one item to the exclusion of the many other important factors that cause the lip to function. A ll of these items must be developed and coordinated. When the whole machine is working harmoniously, then playing becomes a pleasure without abusing the lips. Often we hear the term, "So and so has a natural lip ." Actually, everyone has a natural lip. Some individuals just fa ll easily into the knack of playing the instrument while others must develop it. So we come to the necessity of a systematic approach. My biggest concern in writing this material is that there are over-anxious students who turn to the back of the book first or the impatient ones who skip ove r in their rush to develop too rapidly. The purpose of these routines is to build gradually and systematically. Therefore, I must stress again and again that these routines must be practiced as prescribed - no more than one lesson each week and each lesson thoroughly practiced. It will take a minimum of one year to cover this material correctly. It is at the request and suggestion of many fine players, teachers and students that I have under taken the task of writing this systematic approach. This approach has helped me, it has helped them, and with serious, concentrated study it can help you. Sincerely,
s
THINK WHEN YOU PRACTICE There are seven items to playing trumpet. the trombone may be judged accordingly. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
The same apply to all brass valve instruments, and
Wind Power The Lips The Control of Air The Tongue The Muscles of the Lips and Face The Fingers of the Right Hand The Left Hand
Each one of these items must be developed until it works correctly by habit. All seven of these may be compared to spark plugs in an automobile. If one is not functioning, the machine cannot work easily and smoothly. It is out of balance. When all function correc tly by habit, then the machine runs easily and smoothly and your work is a pleasure.
Incorrect habits are sometimes more easily developed than correct habits, and a habit is hard to change so THINK when you practice. WHY are you practicing a particular exercise? Have a goal in mind. Aimless blowing will not get you anywhere. Remember, the playing of your instrument is by development and coordination jus t like any ath- lete . Therefore, we must train in the same manner.
THE LIPS The only purpose of the lips is to vibrate. They may be compared to a double reed; possibly an oboe reed is an illustration. Notice how an oboe player is always fussing with his reed to see that it vibrates properly. Prop er development so as to vibrate freely in all registers is necessary fo r power, endurance, tone and flexibilities. As the lip tightens and relaxes causing movement under the mouthpiece, it is absolutely neces sary to moisten the lips.
There is no such thing as "no pressure," and it is beneficial to dismiss the subject from your mind and let proper development by routine practice take care of the amount ofpressure. When ascending to higher register, the lip should contract toward the mouthpiece.
Example:
When descending to lower notes, the lips should relax.
Do not use smiling or stretching back movements of the lips. This causes weak endurance and a thinning out of tone. There is always much discussion as to placement of the mouthpiece on the lips, and different players have played successfully with different positions. However, for freer vibration and more en durance in all registers and for power and control, the mouthpiece should be placed more on the upper lip. This gives the advantage of more lip in the mouthpiece or more vibrating surface. The lower the mouthpiece is placed, the more it tends to shut off the vibration. While we are on the subject of the lips and vibration, it may be welltomention the bent mouth piece as this concerns vibration. To some, bending the mouthpiece is extremely beneficial. To some, it is harmful.
6 A student on this matter should seek the advice of a competent teacher, whereas an experienced player may use common sense and a little experimenting.
FACIAL MUSCLES The muscles of the face and lips must be developed and trained to pull toward the mouthpiece. This is done by careful, correct practice of these following calisthentic routines. THINK when you practice. 1.
2.
3. 4.
5.
The facial muscles hold the lips so that they will keep vibrating. Because of this they are constantly moving and adjusting.
When ascending make sure the lips pull together toward the mouthpiece. When descending make sure that they relax. Eventually you will develop a feeling of gripping the mouthpiece which will give you a strong, sure feeling. The movement of the muscles thru correct practice will grow to be habit and work with the rest of the machine.
THE TONGUE The purpose of the tongue is far greater than generally realized. The tongue creates the resistance that enables one to play higher, to lip tri ll , and control the instrument, as we ll as articulation. The tongue creates the resistance with air in the mouth in the same manner as the nozzle of a garden hose creates resistance with water pressure. To illustrate, say "AHH” and then say "EEE " and notice how the tongue raises and lowers. Get this fact well established in your mind and when ascending think "EEE" and when descending think "AHH." Lip trills are accomplished by this same movement: Eee Ah Eee Ah Eee etc
Actually, for a tr il l of this type, it is better not to move the lips at all; rather, let the tongue do all the work. Diagram showing an illustration of the movement of the tongue. "Ahh" Side view of mouth. Shaded area represents the tongue in "Ahh" and "Eee" positions.
How high or low the tongue moves depends on many things: the shape of each person's mouth, how * high you are playing, etc. This cannot be measured so let nature decide. When you practice, just think these things and nature will decide how much is necessary. One item of extreme importance: As you ascend and the tongue moves to the syllable " EEE, " you must blow stronger to meet the resistance.
I find it beneficial to develop the back of the tongue as well as the front. To do this, I have made extensive use of the syllable "K ". This should be developed to the same degree of accuracy and fluen cy as the syllable " T ."
FINGERS The only way that fingers can be developed is by proper practice. This is not difficult. 1. 2. 3. 4.
5.
Don't push the valves down. Strike them hard. Lift your fingers off the valves and strike them down hard. I have used a great deal of so-called false fingering in order to develop the fingers. In some cases the conventional scale fingering that you originally learned to play with is not the best. For example: - not good rough & harsh
rough & awkward
- good smooth & pleasing
smooth & supple
In developing fingers, use repetitious practice over and over again.
CONTROL OF AIR AND WIND POWER I mentioned before that the air stream is controlled by the tongue. I have written these routines so that our first thought is to always have enough wind. Some people by nature have a large capacity of air, and their physique gives them good power and strength. If you are not born with it, you can develop it whether you are large or small. First of all, get all phobias and ideas out of your head such as: pushing out your stomach, breath ing from the stomach, breathing high, breathing low, etc. 1. 2.
Air will only go one place - into your lungs. Forget about what your stomach or your diaphragm looks like. Think only of taking a breath. Now: A. B. C. D.
Stand up. Take a big breath - fill up from the bottom to the top so that you feel full. Do not lift your shoulders up. You can't get air in them. When you are full of air, hold it but relax. (a.)
E.
Chepk if you are relaxed by counting slowly out loud to ten with your voice sounding calm and in its natural tone. (If your voice is strained as though you were tense, then you are not relaxed.) Keep working on this until you can be full of air and perfectly relaxed at the same time.
Next, let the air all out, but do not let your chest drop. Fill up again.
8 F. G.
Keep repeating this until you are tired. Gradually, you will develop the chest and back muscles for proper use. Remember, this will not develop overnight.
I heartily recommend exercise such as boxers use, roadwork and all, to help develop your wind. With proper practice of the following routines, the control of your air will develop greatly thru repetitious use. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Take a big breath, fill up, even if you only play one note . Get in the habit of filling up. (You wouldn't start a trip with the gas tank of your car only 1/4 full.) Now pick up your horn and blow. Don't hold back. Put air thru your horn. It is all right if you miss, but get in the habit of blowing. Never let your air supply get below halfway. Always keep fillin g up. When you are going uphill, blow. Don't hold back - step on the gas. When descending, ease off - save it.
LEFT HAND 1. 2. 3. 4.
Hold the horn with your left hand. In a firm grip, you are the master not the horn. Wrist relaxed, there are movements of this handthat control the instrument. Keep the horn straight up and down not tilted to one side.
PEDAL TONES The practice and use of the pedal reg ister - that is, the notes from Fl below Low C on the Treble Staff on down i
K
1
have been neglected almost completely in all writings. Whether or not this has been intentional by writers or because of the difficulty of explaining this on paper without the aid of a live teacher, I do not know. However, the value of the consistent practice of this register is well known to all fine trumpet players, soloists and artists. The use of these notes in practice will, if properly used: Correct your emboucher - therefore, help high register. Give you great command of your instrument. Give you more power and fluency. Aid your attack and sureness. Develop better vibration. Develop intervals and fluency. Bigger sound in all registers. Develop endurance. Because of the importance of this practice, it must be done by a progressive routine for gradual development. The pedal routine, therefore, is the first thing we play every day. There is no need to warm up or play preliminaries before. Start right out on this routine first every day and stick to it.
9 To start playing your pedals, you must listen carefully to pitch. Make sure the sound is in your mind as these notes are not naturally on the instrument - you make them : r>
Play a low F#
with all three valves.
While you are holding the note, make it go flat, very flat. Notice the feeling you have of forcing this note flat. This is the "f eel" of the pedal F - E - E flat - D and D flat. 2

I t b 2 E Eb D All these notes feel the same; and with a little experimenting, you will be able to get them well enough to start your practice. They are not difficult. It is just new. I have had students play them on their first lesson so do not build up a mental block. ♦
As the pitch is so very important, it is a good idea to test the sound of each note before playing by sounding the octave above first. sound this first to establish pitch
then play this m
Don't worry about the sound of your tone. This will take time to develop. The tone will get strong er and bigger as you progress. Remember, a baby creeps before it walks. the feel is different.
From Pedal C down 4
To start experimenting for this reg ister play a low C. Now relax all the muscles. Let the lower
jaw relax too as in saying "AHH” and play the Pedal C. while others may have to experiment awhile to find it. 1. 2.
To some, this may play on the first attempt
Don’t stop blowing Keep the lips vibrating (or buzzing).

10 Then from F down, it gets very easy and is just a matter of time and practice. The register from Pedal C down has a tendency to be very flat, especially at first. Do not let this worry you. Strive to develop the fe el firs t, and then pull it up to pitch as you improve. Do not be impatient. Some develop a flare fo r these rapidly and .may reach the second Pedal C in a few weeks. For others, it may take months. Just consistently and faithfully practice the routine every day trying to push a little farther each day. (Always attempt one half step farther than you can go.) In time, results will well-rewa rd your patience. Do not deviate from the fingering I have marked even though you may think some others are easier. All the lower octaves use the same fingering: G with 1 and 3. F t with all three.
The lips will not miraculously get stronger by aimless blowing. They must be developed. It is how you practice that counts. Our purpose is to strengthen and train muscles not destroy them. Follow these rules : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Rest as much as you play. When you are tired, rest. Always take a big breath. This willsave your lip muscles. Trumpet playing is a form ofathletics.Keep yourself in good physical condition. Keep in training like any athlete. Concentrate when you practice. Keep your mind on what you are doing. Discipline yourself. Study - understand the purpose of your practice, the value of each routine, what you are developing, etc. Practice in a happy frame of mind. Do not get angry. When you get angry, you stop thinking; and when you stop thinking, you stop playing. A minimum of seven days should be spent on each lesson. Although, you may spend more if necessary. It is absolutely essential that you practice these routines in the pre scribed manner.
ALWAYS REMEMBER ITS HOW YOU PRACTICE THAT COUNTS The first two routines of each lesson do not have time signatures. In these routines, they are not necessary. In fact, to worry about specific time would be detrimental to the exercise. These are calisthenics and should be practiced with freedom. needed. %
Take your breath relaxed when

PART V:
Part I
Continue in same manner as last week - kick the top note.
For this routine use Clarke's Technical Studies, second series for the cornet, by Herbert L. Clarke. Study One: For fingers. For contracting and relaxing lip: (a) Play slow and meticulous. (b) Lift fingers high and strike hard. (c) Rest between each exercise as you go up. (d) Contract lips toward mouthpiece as you go up and playlouder. (e) Relax lips as you come down and play softer. ( f ) The top note should be the strongest. (g) Don't stop at No. 25, but go a few steps higher.Stop when tired. (h) Skip the etude for now.

Take a big breath as usual. Then practice very soft, in a whisper. Practice at least four times in one breath. By gaining speed and playing softly, work to gain more repetitions until you can play eight times in one breath. If you can play each exercise four times in one breath, then you can play the etude all the way in one breath. When you can, then work for twice in one breath. Save your power on the low notes so that you have plenty on the higher notes. Do not hold back on the upper notes. In other words, save it when you do not need it, and use it without reservation when you do need it. The Dynamic markings are there to help you in this matter. Note that the higher notes are always the strongest.

I have explained preceding Lesson One that I have not used time signatures Therefore, I have not used measure lines in most of the exercises. Due to this fact, the cancellation of accidentals by measure lines does not occur. It is important, therefore, to note that many of the following exercises throughout the book are chromatic scales and major arpeggios. Part I
