Introduction In the Introduction J. B. Arban covers the range of the cornet (trumpet). He also details alternate fingerings and describes the use of the tuning slide. Arban states his opinion that the mouthpiece should be two-thirds on the lower lip and one-third on the upper. (Herbert Lincoln Clarke recommends the mouthpiece to rest half upper lip and half lower lip.) Arban then stresses the proper "attack" technique. He uses the "tu" pronunciation, in contrast with modern authorities, which often use "tee." Arban concludes with proper breathing technique (see diaphragmatic breathing) I. First Studies Arban then begins his method with a focus on tone (Studies 1-10). The next studies (11-50) familiarize the student with fingerings, develop his or her range, and instill a habit of precision in attacking the notes. In the next section, which is devoted to syncopation, goes from a simple quarter-half-quarter rhythm to a sixteenth-eighth-sixteenth repeated rhy

Musician Wynton Marsalis performs during a memorial service for actress Ruby Dee at The Riverside Church, Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014 in New York. (AP Photo/Jason DeCrow) By Cox Media Group National Content Desk It was originally a scheduled day off for Wynton Marsalis and his bandmates. Instead, they gave one of their most personal and moving performances. Marsalis had originally planned on visiting the great jazz trumpet and flugelhorn player Clark Terry for his upcoming 94 th birthday. But over the weekend, a health crisis landed the 93-year-old musician in the hospital. So Marsalis and his fellow performers decided to surprise Terry in the hospital and perform a few songs for the man who influenced them so much. It was an emotionally moving event for everyone involved, as Marsalis so eloquently describes in a Facebook post.   http://m.journal-news.com/news/entertainment/music/wynton-marsalis-visits-hospital-play-legendary-tru/njP2m/
