Progressive Armonia Studies Technique Exercises

This series is a collection of exercises that target the violin and trumpet players in the mariachi ensemble.

The collection includes agility exercises, exercises based on the Clarke Cornet Studies, a few shifting exercises, two-octave scales common in mariachi, and all-new ensemble warm-ups.

Many of the exercises can be instantly altered by slurring two notes and bowing (tonguing) two notes or vice versa. The eighth notes could be changed to sixteenth notes on some exercises to increase difficulty. There are so many ways to expand on them.

The harp book mirrors the violin and trumpet part, while the armonia is an accompaniment that stays mostly in the bolero style throughout the book.
