One of the books I use most in my own teaching. The Brass Gym is a brilliant daily routine by Patrick Sheridan and Sam Pilafian, covering the fundamentals of brass playing in a way that is practical, musical and easy to build into your everyday practice.
I particularly like it for developing flexibility and airflow. The exercises gradually ramp up in difficulty and work on areas including smooth air, slurring, pedal register, range, buzzing, relaxation and efficient playing. It works equally well as a warm-up or as a more complete daily fundamentals session.
I chose this for the store because it’s something I genuinely use all the time with students, and I think it’s one of the most useful books a brass player can own.
This edition also includes a play-along CD. Please note that if you buy the Euphonium Treble Clef edition, the exercises on the CD are played in Bb. A separate Tuba edition in Bass Clef is also available here. I use the Euphonium book but just without the CD and it's still one of my absolute favourites.
