Trumpet Tone<br />

Studio 259 Productions has published<br />

Vincent Cichowicz: Long Tone<br />

Studies, compiled by Mark Dulin<br />

and Michael Cichowicz. A legendary<br />

educator and famous classical<br />

trumpet performer, Cichowicz<br />

was a caring mentor who devised<br />

simple long-tone slur exercises to<br />

help his students develop a solid<br />

tonal foundation. The book also<br />

includes commentaries from many<br />

of Cichowicz’s former students,<br />

as well as an article on teaching<br />

concepts of trumpet playing<br />

that Cichowicz wrote for The Instrumentalist magazine<br />

in the mid-1990s. More info: balquhiddermusic.com<br />
