The philosophy of the Supplemental Studies, to which James Stamp agreed many years ago, was to fill in some of the blank pages of his legacy, to wit: to show his advanced scale exercises and some of his pedagogical roots. One cannot do this without mentioning Max Schlossberg (1873-1936), whom many consider to be the father of the American school of trumpet playing, and who had a great influence on James Stamps work.

James Stamp was a student of professor Schlossberg, and he used, especially during his formative years as a teacher, some of Schlossbergs original unpublished materials in his work.

This book is a supplement to the original James Stamp Warm-Ups and Studies, and all of James Stamps concepts and instructions presented in the original volume should apply to these studies as if they were included in this book.
