    Jazz Preparation Pack
    Trumpet
    Congratulations on your successful audition to study Jazz at Leeds College of Music.
    We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to our community!

    This booklet has been designed to give you some advice as to the sort of things you might want to spend some
    time looking at between now and the onset of your course. The idea is to make sure that we ‘hit the ground
    running’ in September, by giving you a bit of notice as to the sort of topic areas that may be covered.

    It’s important to clarify that you will be assigned to a 1-to-1 tutor upon enrolment, and the content of the lessons
    you receive will be determined by them once they have met you and got a sense of what you would benefit from
    the most. Naturally, your own interests and aspirations will come into it as well – we don’t deliver ‘one size fits all’
    lessons. Having said that, though, there are certain fundamentals that every Jazz musician needs to deal with in one
    way or other, and the purpose of this booklet is to give you a bit of a head start in these areas.

    No-one expects you to have fully mastered all of this before you start, but any progress you can make towards that
    goal will be time very well spent!

    Listening List
    One of the great pleasures of being a musician is listening to music every day, and as jazz is an aural/oral tradition it is
    imperative that you listen to some music every day. Remember that repeated listening to the same album or track is the
    key, rather than listening to something once and moving on to something else. This enables you to internalise the music so
    that eventually you will be able to recall it in your ‘mind’s ear’ and draw upon it in your own improvisations. Here’s a list of
    great jazz trumpet records to get you started, most of which are available to listen to on Spotify or YouTube.

    Basic Language, Scale and Chord Exercises


    Learn the following modes of the major scale in 12 keys, starting on the same note. Begin with the brightest sounding
    mode (Lydian, as it has the most sharpened notes) and flatten one note each time so that you end with the darkest
    sounding mode (Locrian as it has the most flattened notes).
    When you have mastered these scales ascending and descending, practise them with these scale patterns:

    Chord Exercises

    Practise major 7, dominant 7 and minor 7 chords around the cycle of 4ths/5ths
    Lick and Cells
    Practise slowly before gradually increasing the speed.
    Practise the following basic language in 12 keys:

    Notice the targeting of chord tones (root, 3rd, 5th and 7th) on strong beats of the bar, especially on beat 1 or 3 when
    the chord changes.
