James Stamp (Modified) - do one pattern on air first - breathe only where indicated - all notes below F-sharp are to be fingered the same as one octave higher - maintain a consistent embouchure with only minimal movement - big, full tone in all registers - keep the jaw and oral cavity relaxed and open. Stamp was an advocate of free-buzzing and mouthpiece playing. According to David Hickman (Trumpet Pedagogy, p. 201) James Stamp was 'one of the first people to make lip buzzing an acceptable method of embouchure building.'

James Stamp Warm-Ups with item no. 530 is a teaching aid from Editions Bim and is for music lessons with trumpet and other brass instruments.

Most students of James Stamp believed his warm-ups were more effective in his presence than if they played them alone.

For optimal effectiveness, Stamp's exercises - perhaps more so than other methods - focus on both musical and physical principles. Stamp's most famous favourite aphorism is: if a passage sounds good (for example, intonation), does that mean you are playing it right, or vice versa, if you are not playing it right, it cannot possibly sound good. Indeed, everything that has been said and written about James Stamp and his teaching and playing concepts reinforces this basic principle.

To put his concepts into practice, James Stamp played the warm-ups/exercises simultaneously on the piano while the student played them with the mouthpiece or instrument. This method required a certain discipline and avoided unnecessary verbal explanations and analysis as every problem appeared spontaneously and could be identified very quickly during the work phase...
