Just wondering who has seen the Basic Carmine Caruso the Markus Stockhausen has put together? I know that is not the whole program but just wonder your thoughts on it vs the whole shebang

I use it daily, but I understand from some of the Caruso guys here that you need to count with your feet and read the introductory material closely and follow it religiously.

There’s some interesting dissertation work on how/whether ‘the whole shebang’ was a set course versus how individual students received varying special prescriptions for their exercises. The late Laurie Frink’s FLEXUS book makes a strong argument for the exercises as we’ve inherited them serving as a jumping off point for conditioning the modern improviser. I’ve found the Flexus book itself to be a useful jumping off point for my extended Caruso practice, in fact.

Happy practicing, while tapping your feet, breathing through your nose, and playing with abandon!

Stockhausen's basic Caruso exercises include the Six Notes, Seconds, Harmonic Series, Pedals, and Chromatic Pedals Extended III. If you were practicing from Musical Calisthenics for Brass (MCFB) you'd likely do at least four of those "foundational" exercises.

The things you'll miss out on if you don't work from MCFB include other intervals, soft-loud-soft/loud-soft-loud, and developed scale. I personally find the larger intervals and the SLS/LSL exercises to be really useful.

As another respondent pointed out, Flexus is a philosophical continuation of MCFB, offering good insights into how Caruso's approach could be applied in other settings. I'll also mention Dominic Derasse's Musical Calisthenics for Brass - A Sequel, which expands on MCFB exercises (e.g., bigger intervals) and introduces new exercises (e.g., flexibilities).

Working Through all the MCFB exercises in the 15 lessons is the only real way to understand how each exercise effects each person individually…
Applying the 4 rules and 5 steps to each then allows you to pick and choose certain exercises along your journey to self diagnose and “fix”
My daily always starts with six notes, seconds and Harmonics then into the exercises that I need to work on in my playing at that time …
