CSD Buzzing Exercises

The document provides instructions and exercises for buzzing on a trumpet mouthpiece. It includes pre-warmup exercises that involve smooth glissandos between notes while maintaining a good buzz. Scale studies are presented using a tuner for pitch reference. Exercises progress from free buzzing to buzzing on the mouthpiece to playing the same patterns on the actual horn to strengthen embouchure. The goal is to generate awareness of the lip tension and air intensity combinations for different notes, especially in the middle and low registers.

Lips - Mouthpiece - Horn


This exercises is based on a Caruso exercises by the same name.
This exercises is designed to both strengthen the corners and generate awareness for the lip tension/air intensity
combinations for middle and mid-low register notes.

Do not exceed a 3rd-space C while free buzzing, but feel free to go as low as you are able to.

Non-circled Xs are free-buzzed notes.


Continue this pattern with different intervals on different notes.
