Brasstactic II. the Tension - Release Cycle Orestes Machado

The accumulated tension is an unwanted passenger on our trip as a trumpet player. It is impossible to let it lay; day by day, it will steal your comfort to play. Did you know that this phenomenon is usually responsible for the gradual deterioration of almost all technical aspects of the instrument? Brasstactic II. The Tension - Release Cycle aims to incorporate a routine into your practice; a series of exercises (physical and musical) that will allow you to rid yourself of the harmful effects of accumulated tension. These exercises will also help you achieve a freer flow of air, more range, and much more efficient playing. And, perhaps a new perception of the instrument. The one who travels first class is you, not the accumulated tension. Enjoy the trip!
