At last, an organized regimen of Reinhardt routines presented in a manner that builds every aspect of your playing: range, endurance, sound, technique (or for trombone, advanced slide techniques), shakes, breathing, articulation, key fluency, tonguing, slurring, multiple tonguing, consistency . . . it’s all here.
For years people have been asking for a collection of Reinhardt routines that would work without the benefit of studying with Reinhardt. Most dedicated Reinhardt students know that’s a tall order, because you can’t just turn a player loose with many of the Reinhardt routines — every routine had a specific purpose and was assigned at a specific time. Reinhardt knew there was no “one size fits all” way of teaching brass players.
But thanks to Dave Sheetz and Rich Willey, a set of routines has been laid out, about half of which are based on his never-before-published revisions to his Manual of Studies. These comprise a rotating Nine Day plan (or for trombone, Eleven Days) followed by a series of Supplemental Routines (including Reinhardt’s now-famous Warm Up #57), all of which players will benefit from simply by reading the instructions and playing the drills accordingly.
The Reinhardt Routines--a total embouchure development plan has what it takes to develop that embouchure you’ve been dreaming of. It’s all laid out for you right here, at last.
Fifty pages, printed on high quality paper, GBC comb-bound with heavy (10 ml.) mylar protective covers. This book comes with product support.
“So Rich, I gotta tell you, I’ve been practicing out of both the Focal Point & Reinhart Routines books for the past, month maybe, and I have to tell you I’m noticing some really GREAT results! I began this morning with Day 2 in the Reinhardt Routines, and did some of the trio of daily calisthenics as I was going through my day away from the horn. When I came back to play this evening, I felt this wicked change in my chops — in a really good way! I’ve always had a collapsing jaw; anytime I go above high D my bottom jaw just recedes back and it seems like my whole embouchure caves in. I’ve managed a decent range, but I’ve never been able to get any volume on those notes above E-flat. Tonight, I began playing and for some strange reason my bottom jaw was rock solid and didn’t move. Going to to high E’s, F’s & G’s it didn’t collapse and was just solid. My volume wasn’t astoundingly loud, but I’ve never felt this secure going into the upper register. I’m quickly becoming a believer.” -- Steve Beckner, trumpeter, Half Moon Bay, CA
“This book is a must for all brass players.” — Bill Gibson, Edwards/Getzen Artist/Clinician
Queen Mary II Queens Room Orchestra trombonist/bandleader
“I recently purchased The Reinhardt Routines for trombone from Boptism. What a difference 11 days made initially! I’m now in my fourth time through the routines. I never believed my intonation and upper register would ever be this solid. An excellent book. I would recommend it to any trombonist, especially those coming back after a very long layoff.” — Robert McMurrian
“I am having tremendous success with this book. My chops have never felt better, and the sound is really opening up. I’m playing more efficiently than I ever have in 30-some-odd years of playing. I feel like I’m finally starting to break down the barriers that have kept me from playing MUSIC. I can see now why those who studied firsthand with Dr. Reinhardt respect him so much.” — Joel Nielsen
“Thanks for a fantastic book.” — Paul Sharp, Solo-Hornist Deutsche Oper Berlin
“I use these routines every day. They’re great. I’m glad you’ve made them available.” — Joshua Holder
“Best trumpet book on the planet. After almost 40 years of playing my chops are being revolutionized.”
— Scott Forrey
“This material is responsible for a huge improvement in my playing; just writing to let you know that it works. I wish I could have met and studied with Reinhardt in person—he sounds like quite a guy. By the way, your publications are some of the highest quality stuff on the market.”
— Kurt Finchum
From Dave Sherman’s website:
“It’s hard to get excited over a new trombone method book. However, this book will excite many brass players who have been waiting for a practical method book based on the teachings of Dr. Donald Reinhardt.
“I have been using some of the teaching methods of the late Dr. Reinhardt for myself and my students for the last year. The Warm Up #57’s are well received by my students and are a great basic introduction to Dr. Reinhardt’s approach to practicing.
“Reinhardt’s methods are based on tried and proven techniques. Many of the method books in use today provide incorrect or misleading advice and I am reluctant to use some of them. Fortunately for us, Dr. Reinhardt has two dedicated former students that are making sure that the materials that Dr. Reinhardt used over decades of teaching are still made available. The latest publication is the most usable of the Reinhardt material published to date. “The Reinhardt Routines, a total embouchure development plan” is meant to be a stand-alone book which can be used without any use of the previous Reinhardt material. There is no discussion of upstream vs. downstream playing or much details of the pivot system. This can be found in the other Reinhardt publications.
Rich Willey and David Sheetz are responsible for this marvelous new book. There are 11 daily workouts as well as supplemental material. Included in this book are the great Warm Up #57 Exercises. These warm-ups are a masterpiece by themselves. I try to start my students on these as soon as possible.” — Dave Sherman, trombonist
