Melodious Etudes for Trumpet, No.1, Marco Bordogni

These simple etudes are songs without words. Written by Marco Bordogni as vocal exercises for his students they give us an opportunity to imitate a beautiful singing voice in what is called bel canto style. I find it very helpful to actually sing these first (where my vocal skills permit) and also to use them for mouthpiece buzzing practice. These songs give me a chance to develop a sense of line, shape, direction, pacing and to let my natural voice come through. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
