A common question on Facebook Trumpet groups, recently, has been “How Do I Do The Pencil Exercise?” Less specifically, it’s also often asked how people can keep their chops in shape when they have limited practice time, due to their day job or travel schedule? In this episode of Trumpet A-Z, “I for Isometrics”, Bryan Davis explains the 2 versions of the Pencil Exercise, tells you how to do them and some things to look out for!
Catch up on the entire Trumpet A-Z series, so far, at: Trumpet A-Z Playlist. New episodes are added every Friday.
