Editor's note: The following excerpt is written by David Bilger and used with his permission. It describes an exercise for improving power and endurance that
Mr. Bilger learned from Renold Schilke. For a very worthwhile and full discussion of many other facets of trumpet practice, preparation, and performance,
check out the whole master class from which parts of this was taken. Go to Notes on Technique. Mr. Bilger currently is Principal Trumpet of the Philadelphia
Orchestra, and was previously Principal of the Dallas Symphony. He currently teaches at The Curtis Institute of Music and Temple University in Philadelphia.
Endurance:
As is the case with range, endurance is also a combination of many of the topics we have already touched upon, and will benefit from many of the same etudes. The two
other things that will most quickly improve endurance are efficiency and loud practice.
1. Efficiency is a necessity for any brass player. Playing the trumpet is extremely physical, and efficient playing will reduce the demands on the player. Efficiency can be
achieved by taking care of the following:
Always use a good volume of air, and high air speed
Always play with your embouchure set
Do not use excessive pressure
Practice upper body relaxation
Always think about what you are doing while you play
2. Loud practice is another part of trumpet playing that is often overlooked. Remember, when practicing at loud dynamic levels, always keep your sound from distorting,
and never cause yourself physical pain. Do not use excessive pressure! Orchestral excerpts are a good source of loud material, as are the Brandt Orchestral Etudes.
Perhaps the best resource for loud playing are the Schilke Power Exercises. Playing 5 minutes of these a day will be all you need to develop the necessary strength for
increased endurance.
Mr. Bilger writes specifically about this exercise:
I had the pleasure and honor of working with Mr. Schilke for a week at the Banff Centre in 1980 when he was hanging out with the Canadian Brass who were
on the faculty there. During that week he showed me the power exercises that I outlined in my master class materials. I have all my students do them! -- James F. Donaldson
