Grateful thanks to my wife, Christine Bell-Pearson, without whose encouragement to tackle the ‘natural trumpet’ this manual would not and could not have been written. The significance of this will be explained in the introduction. Thanks to Silvio Famularo for being in the right place at the right time to point me in the direction of the writings of Ernest G White. Thanks and appreciation to my pupils who have stayed the course and from whom I have learned so much about the human voice. I have no doubt that the basic ideas which developed out of the trumpet experience could only have been brought to this point by working with those who thought they could not sing. The demonstration examples are sung by Joanne Hodgson and by the author to give an indication of how the exercises should sound and how they can be used to develop flexibility and musicality.
