The long, flowing melody and the rich piano harmonies make Vocalise one of the most expressive pieces you can play on trumpet or flugelhorn.
The play-along helps you develop breath control, legato and a singing tone, and it is a beautiful choice for recitals, concerts and exams that include a lyrical piece.

Practice tips
