Plog, Anthony
Method for Trumpet, Books 1 through 7
The musical exercises, drills and etudes that Anthony Plog presents
in the books of his Method for Trumpet are an extended library of
progressively tuned materials designed for students and professionals
at all levels of development. Warm-up Exercises and Etudes, Fingering,
Tonguing, Flexibility, Chords and Intervals, Low Register, High
Register, Power and Strength, and Final Etudes are the major areas
Plog outlines and develops here.
The wealth of material is wonderful - a composer's mind combined
with a trumpeter's experience and expertise yields a fabulous resource
for all brass players. A unique feature of these books is the inclusion
of original etudes at the end of every subject - etudes that employ
and develop the techniques in that section of the Method.

Book 1: Warm-up Exercises and Etudes
A thoroughly sumptuous collection of warm-up exercises in carefully
graduated sequences. It is a wonderful resource and very addictive
to play. There is a fair amount of extension into the pedal register
as well. After the 46 pages of exercise sequences there are 30 warm-up
etudes which are excellent and appropriate "flow studies".

2 and 3: Fingering Exercises and Etudes (Parts 1 and 2 respectively)
These excellent exercises constitute a sort of parallel universe
to the famous Technical Studies of Herbert L. Clarke. They can work
in tandem to enhance each other.

Book 5: Flexibility Exercises and Etudes
Once again, Plog’s unique outlook has made a significant
contribution to the genre. In addition to the usual forms of flexibility
exercises, he includes “Flexibility With Valves” and
“Flexibility Etudes”. A strong addition to his previous
four volumes, it inspires anticipation for the remaining volumes
of his Method, still in production.

Book 6: Low/High - Power/Strength Exercises and Etudes
Like the other books in this Method, the unique presentation of
following sets of exercise drills with etudes emphasizing the same
material, makes the material enticing and engaging. This book explores
the often over-looked subjects of the Low and High Registers in
clear, well balanced and progressive exercises which are then integrated
within the entire spectrum of the trumpet’s range.

Book 7: Chordal and Interval Exercises and Etudes
In the final book of this Method, Plog takes up Chordal and Interval
subjects. The way in which these figures move across the compass
of the instrument in challenging but accessible patterns, gives
finger technique, lip flexibility and sound production excellent
material to infuse improvement into the player’s accomplishments.
This will be superlative medicine for refining your resonance across
the registers and revealing aspects of your embouchure setting that
might need attention. A crowning touch to a remarkable Method, The
Plog Program.
