Collins “Mini Etudes” #138
One of the longest “Mini Etudes” - this challenging, but beautiful melody covers a wide range on the trumpet.

Collins “Mini Etudes” #139
One of the few odd metered etudes in the book. At a faster tempo, keep the articulations snappy!

Once again - keeping the articulations snappy will help you dance your way through the weekend!

Collins “Mini Etudes” #141
Even slower etudes can be fairly difficult if we can’t hear the correct pitches. Remember - if you can’t sing it, you can’t play it!

It’s etudes like these - which are longer and require us to stay in the upper register for long periods of time - that can be painful… but are so necessary!

We go through several keys here in this etude. Make sure you’re comfortable in all of them!

Lots of 3rd valve action here. Don’t be lazy with that 3rd finger!

Collins “Mini Etudes” #146
Let’s dance! Usually when we think of dancing we think of keeping things light - but I think on this one we can let our hair down and go more for the “rager” than the ballet!

Another etude with elements of a movie love song. Good luck to those of you who take on this long etude!

Imagine tripping over every other note in Petroushka - oh wait! I already do that! Well, this etude is an interesting take on turning Petroushka into a very easy excerpt.

Collins “Mini Etudes” #149
Yet another beautiful melodic etude by Phil Collins. In the orchestra world, rarely does the trumpet get to play extended lyrical solos - those are usually left to the French horn - so these types of long, lyrical etudes are a welcome change to daily life as a lun orchestral trumpet player.

Only 18 of the Mini Etudes left - and we’re STILL dancing through these!

Yet another beautiful melodic etude! This book is filled with these lyrical studies and I hope you enjoy playing these as much as I’ve enjoyed recording them!

Short, lyrical, but challenging in that we’re all over the horn in this one. Have fun and remember to stay UP so as not to sag on the descending lines!

Sometimes ya just gotta GO for it - especially if it’s an etude that is only about 20 seconds long!
