14 Characteristic Studies .. Arban Do you????

I'm about as far away from a classical trumpet player as one might possibly be... but, I have always liked playing these 14 studies in the Arban book. I have never grown tired of working on them.

I assume others of you do the same from time to time.

Which one is your favorite?

Which one is the most challenging for you?

Any comments?

While symphonic trumpet playing is my serios passion, I like to be a jack of all trades. I've never been one to use method books, which could be bad or good. I've spent much time making my own methods and exercises, but since I thought a week before my IU audition I needed a technical etude I learned No. 9. So No. 9 is my current favourite, since it's the only one I've ever looked at.
