What are some good ways to develop shakes and lip trills? I used to be able to do them, but since my return to trumpet they seem to elude me!!! Thanks

Lip slurs from the Arban's and/or Irons methods are valuable. Use a metronome if you have one.

Avoid using mouthpiece pressure as a substitute for lip compression. No death grip on the horn. Make sure you're using plenty of ab support for the air if you're playing above the staff.

Practice with purpose, it'll come around.
