The daily maintenance, for trumpet
The routine you'll keep for life. Serious players run their scales every day — the shapes and patterns that keep the muscle memory there, so on the stand the body just moves: high, low, fast, slow, loud, soft, whatever the music asks. This is that workout, made simple. No streaks. No XP. Just scales.
Built for B♭ trumpet. Read it as written for trumpet, hear it in your key, play right along. Correct transposition is handled; the concert pitch is shown for when you're with a pianist.
A model to match. Press play and the scale sounds at your pitch, with the notes moving across the staff at the tempo and articulation you choose — détaché or slurred, quarter notes through sixteenths. You match the model, the way you'd match a teacher in a lesson.
What's free, and what's deeper
All 12 major scales — straight up and down, up to two octaves, on every one of the 69 instruments — are free. The full range of the horn is part of the Full Studio. When they're fluent, the Full Studio opens minor scales and arpeggios, intervals and chords, chromatic technique, in the same simple format.
