|

Is there anyone who does stamp excercizes on picc? I have quite a bit of picc work coming up, and was wondering if there is anything in the stamp book that works to help your picc playing. |

Bert Truax had me play the scale study (number 6 in the old edition with the green cover) on pic. The instructions were to play it in the key of F, on the A pipe (where most of my pic playng fell), beginning on low F. Rest a lot, keep the air moving but not forced and listen to the sound you're making (rather than "Did I hit the note").
Hope this helps, _________________ “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.”

Hi Socrates!
Dont be afraid to experiment a little. You can basically use many of the exercises in your piccolo training. For example take the basic Stamp melody (exercise 3) and play it starting at F sharp. Then play variations a and b starting with the same note. Then move up to G etc. as high as you can. The trill ex. (page 20) with regular fingerings starting from G is also good. Play the second repeat tongued. Continue upwards.
Happy practising!

In a master class one principal trumpet in a Spanish symphony orchestra says that he study Stamp exercices one day in Bb trumpet, other in C trumpet, other in Eb and other in Picc, then in rotary. Then Thompson Buzz Book in Bb, other they in C, etc.
I think is a good idea to do exercices in various trumpets. In this way I think you don't practice exercices in one way for this trumpet with a particular air resistance, a particular pitch issue of this trumpet, you practise with different air resietences, etc. |

I've been doing Stamps for years, and honestly never considered doing them on picc until I read this thread!
I don't have any good reason why - it had just never crossed my mind. I'm going home and trying this today, I'm guessing I might feel a little more "connected" with my picc than I ever have. |

My Stamp-schooled teacher only ever advised me to practice Clarke Technical Studies on the picc. And then only after I had completed my regular routine, including Stamp, on my Bb. He specifically advised against doing much of my regular daily routine on the picc. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."
