Description:
This "Progressive Balancing in Staccato – Advanced Progressive Technical Exercises" is entirely devoted to the study of staccato. The method consists of a first part in major keys and a second part in minor keys, each of which is further divided into regular and inverted forms. It offers brass players—both professional musicians and students—the opportunity to improve their speed, precision, and staccato technique by gradually developing embouchure, attacks, staccato articulation, octaves, register, control, accuracy, and technical speed. It is recommended to begin at a comfortable metronome tempo (75–80) and then gradually increase the tempo to the maximum achievable speed in order to progressively develop these advanced technical exercises. Dynamic markings have been deliberately omitted, as they do not play as significant a role in this context as they typically do in music and repertoire. Nevertheless, it is recommended to play these exercises with dynamics ranging from mf (mezzo-forte) to f (forte) or from mp (mezzo-piano) to a strong mf. The performer is completely free to choose the type of staccato articulation. However, it is recommended to vary these daily—for example, practicing simple staccato on the first day, double tonguing on the second day, and triple tonguing on the third day, before returning to simple staccato. In addition, the player may decide at their own discretion to practice major keys one day and minor keys the next, or to practice the regular form one day and the inverted form the following day.
