From Chris Gekker’s foreword: There are no inherently difficult keys in music, only unfamiliar ones. A similar statement could be made for rhythms. Challenging areas of human learning generally begin with awkward difficulty and become, with studied practice, manageably approachable. The core requirement in this learning process is constructive and sufficient exposure and experience – early study material should be realistically practical and clearly understood. Brennan Rudy’s book Introductory Odd-Metered Studies for Trumpet exemplifies these qualities. Brennan Rudy’s Introductory Odd-Metered Studies for Trumpet offers young musicians a progressive and easily comprehended way to begin work toward a high level of rhythmic literacy, an understanding that will enhance their ability to play any music they may encounter. A musician who is trained to perform music that is more complex than what they are commonly faced with will play with more relaxed freedom and expression. A musician attempting to present repertoire that is outside their comfort zone will likely sound stiff and ill-at-ease. Artistic freedom of expression is a quality not given to any of us, it is earned through dedicated study and work.
