This book provides a comprehensive collection of essential slurring skills for the first year student as well as exercises that challenge the most advanced professional.  A balance between variety and accessibility is used to challenge the ear and combat the monotony of typical lip slur exercises while maintaining a logical and musical shape to the phrase.  Special areas included are: large intervals within a modest range; exercises designed to eliminate or minimize breaks between registers; memorizable warm-ups; techniques that exploit out-of-tune harmonics; innovative ways to increase range both high and low; exercises that provide an extreme challenge to the ear and lip slur hybrids combined with lip trill precursors.  A great value and a necessary addition to your repertoire!
