Title: rework
Review: Frank Campos starts this book with common sense ideas. Efficiency is so important - lips, breath and tongue. However, when he gets to the lip section, he is not imparting common techniques. He encourages the reader to push the mouthpiece up. I can only guess that he has a 2/3 upper lip placement for the way he plays. Everyone plays different - is he going to tell Wynton Marsalis to go from his position (1/3 upper lip) to Campos's physical style??? He talks about the smile muscles and their usefulness in a trumpet embouchure - huh - that is information discarded 30 years ago. Unless a player with his same physical makeup is using these techniques, it is not a match for the majority of trumpet players.The book has good ideas interspersed throughout, however with such poor prime physical recommendations about the embouchure I rate this book a D-.
