Louis Davidson

I recently started doing the Louis Davidson routine, out of his "Trumpet Techniques" book. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this or knew anything about it.

You should get in touch with Ronald Modell. He is Mr. Davidson's cousin, I think , and used his books. I think he's still alive and well.

Also look for a publication of his (out-of-print, I think, but probably available in some music libraries) called "Trumpet Profiles". It's a unique survey of the equipment, practice habits, and perspectives of many, many great trumpeters, (incl. Herseth, Dokshitzer, Andre, etc.). Mr. Davidson is a great example of someone with an esteemed performance career who embraced his second career as a scholar/pedagogue.

"Trumpet Techniques" is such an under rated book! It appears very "Schlossberg-like" (as Davidson studied with him) but it is meticulously organized. You cannot help but to improve by working through this book in a consistent manner...Bernie Adelstein swore by it...he studied with Davidson...
