Professional trumpeter Patrick Hession accompanies the INpact Band members during their DCI World
Championship Finals performance.

An enormous ensemble of middle school band students took the field at Lucas Oil Stadium Aug. 10, as part of the opening ceremony of the Drum Corps International World
Championship Finals in Indianapolis.
2013 marked the second year the INpact Indiana's Future Band was organized for performances at the DCI World Championships. Nominated by band directors and music teachers, more than 280 middle school students from across the state of Indiana were selected to participate.

The band is presented thanks to a special grant awarded to Drum Corps International by the LDI 100th Anniversary Celebration Cultural Partnership Gift Program with the cooperation of the Indiana State School Music Association and Indiana Bandmasters Association.

"INpact gives young musicians an exciting performance opportunity while opening their eyes to a high level of excellence in the performing arts," said head INpact director Kathryn Briel, who is the director of bands at Clark Pleasant Middle School in Greenwood, Ind.

INpact students arrived in Indianapolis on Friday, Aug. 9 to begin rehearsals. In between ensemble and smaller sectional practices with Indiana band directors, performers also had the opportunity to observe drum corps getting ready for and competing at the DCI World Championship Semifinals which was running simultaneous to their rehearsal schedule.

Rounding out the night, students were treated to a special program at the historic Indiana Repertory Theater. A leadership workshop by motivational speaker Fran Kick, a performance and question and answer session with Sgt. Corrin Campbell who is an active-duty servicewoman and musician with the U.S. Army, a walk-though of a day-in-the-life of a professional musician with trumpeter Al Chez, and other special guests and performers took center stage in a number of interactive sessions with the middle schoolers.
While getting back to work on Saturday morning, INpact students had the opportunity to experience Drum Corps International's first-ever DrumLine Battle and SoundSport festival on Georgia Street in downtown Indianapolis, before heading back to Lucas Oil Stadium for a dress rehearsal of their performance later in the evening.

INpact Band members had the opportunity to rehearse
and perform at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Joining the INpact Band for their concert at the start of the DCI World Championship Finals were renowned trumpet soloists Patrick Hession and Al Chez. Hession has made a career of playing and recording for some of the most well known big bands in the world including the Lionel Hampton Big Band, the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Maynard Ferguson's Big Bop Noveau. Chez, who is a former drum corps member and still assists in teaching drum corps, spent more than 25 years as a trumpeter with the Late Night and Late Show with David Letterman on NBC and then CBS.

Hession and Chez accompanied the band playing an arrangement of Bill Conti's theme to the "Rocky" movies, "Gonna Fly Now." Doug Keiser from the School of Music at Indiana State University served as conductor of the group.

More than just a performance opportunity, the INpact Indian's Future Band experience is one designed to encourage students to consider the arts as they make important skills development decisions for their high school years and beyond.

"These students take back a unique level of excitement and excellence for music education to their individual schools and communities throughout Indiana," Briel said. "They become ambassadors for keeping music alive and strong in our Indiana schools."

HESSION'S SESSIONS Guide Reviews! (Updated on August 1, 2013)

Patrick is very pleased to report that the method book is being well received all around the world! Here are the reviews:

Hi Mr. Hession,

I am really enjoying your book!

Ian Carey

Great resource. As an older player, it is nice to see an explanation, with exercises included, that addresses the needs of how to play with better sound and range. I am very appreciative of this book!

Scott Pennewill

The best help I ever received. I have played professionally from 1977 - 2002, I then stopped, disillusioned and fed up. I was talked into starting again in January this year (2013). I have been using Patrick's book now for a little over a couple of months and my chops have really settled down and the reliability is consistent. I recently was asked to fill the lead chair of a good big band. I have Played two, two hour gigs including soloing and I can report that my chops seem almost as fresh at the end of the gig as they did at the start.

In the words of a famous paint advert.... "It does exactly what it says on the lid."

If you are serious about developing your chops, air and sizzle, this book is an absolute must. Simple!

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge Patrick.

Best Book on Building the Trumpets Range. Over the past 43 years, I have owned many trumpet method books including books specializing on building the trumpet range and endurance. Patrick's book is one of the best if not the best trumpet method books I have encountered that targets building range and endurance. Not only is Patrick a really nice individual, he is a very unique trumpet player as evidenced by his many years as Maynard Ferguson's Lead player. My biggest regret is losing my spiral bound issue of this great book. I highly recommend this trumpet method book if one is interested in expanding their range and endurance. Patrick's playing ability can be easily assessed via YouTube.

Russell D. Dixon "Russell D"

Putting in some work... Thank you Patrick for a great book!

Fabio Spinella

So far so good. Bought this for a friend, I am told, and I quote "It has really improved my range, there's some sweet lessons in this thing." So far i've heard no flack about it, and to be honest my buddy's been playing very well. I'd recommend this.

Vol. 33, No. 4
June 2009

Hession, Patrick E. - Harrison Township, MI: Author 2004.
Softcover, 77pp.

Most noted for his extensive work as lead trumpet for Maynard Ferguson, Patrick Hession developed his formidable abilities through years of playing in the UNLV Jazz Ensemble, Las Vegas show bands, cruise ship bands, and the bands of Lionel Hampton and Glenn Miller. This book contains lessons and exercises that he has developed in a continual pursuit of self-improvement.

Before delving into exercises, Hession writes about his approach to music and identifies some key issues with regard to playing in the upper register on the trumpet. The tone of Hession's writing is very informal, almost conversational. His approach is mindful of both the physical and mental components necessary for success. More specifically, he discusses trumpet players as both artists and athletes, with the idea that each day should bring the player closer to his or her goals.

Hession also emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus while practicing and performing. He refers to being "in the zone" and playing with 100 percent concentration for each note. The importance of air is also discussed at length, with an emphasis on efficient breathing and a supported air flow.

Hession developed the 25 original exercises contained in this book through his practice and preparation in the professional world. The first exercises address breathing, pedal tones, and relaxation. From there, further exercises use chromatics and lip slurs to emphasize the importance of using air properly to produce sound. Centering pitch and tone are also covered. As the book progresses, Hession frequently revisits exercises that are intended to refocus and relax the player. Some of the later exercises address controlling the air stream, glissandos, and lip trills.

Overall, Hession's book presents a very broad and developed mental approach to the upper register. It does not espouse a "one size fits all" mentality, but rather encourages persistence, focus, and an emphasis on the basics of trumpet playing. If there are two points that Hession is insistent upon, they are that both airflow and focus are crucial to success on the trumpet. This book does not claim to make you a lead trumpet player overnight, but it does give you some great insight into the mind and methods of a great lead trumpet player. When played according to Hession's instructions, I found these exercises to be very beneficial.

(Ben Peterson, trumpeter. USAF Band of Mid-America)

Have been revisiting Patrick Hession's excellent "Hession's Sessions" book the past few days. My chops feel great! When I first got it, probably 5 or 6 years ago, it was too much of a workout, and my impatience got the better of me. Now I find it to be a well structured and well balanced warmup, which is setting me up nicely! If you don't have it already (or even if you do!) it's well worth investigating.

Bryan Davis

Patrick,

Your book has kept me in shape when school is off, when work is slow, and when I really need to strengthen my chops for shows or lead gigs. I have had it for about 2 years and slowly progressed my way through it. I would love to have a lesson and work out of it, to help alleviate my bad habits (pressure for one), and to learn how YOU do the exercises.

I also recently picked up the BL4 S6 "XLT" Monette piece. It is awesome, the best I have ever played. I like it more than my B4L, and way more than my Bob Reeves. It is perfect for me; shallow bowl shape, huge throat, and big backbore, but not too big.

Kudos on everything man. You're one of the greats in my book.

HI EVERYONE,

I'm writing this message simply because I want to express how brilliant PATRICK HESSION'S BOOK is: I've been playing the TRUMPET professionally now since 1981. Up until January 2005, I was always trying to find the perfect trumpet book that would help me DEVELOP my range and endurance. PATRICK'S book is BRILLIANT. I've increased my range from a HIGH 'F' above HIGH C to 'A' above HIGH 'C'. On some days, I also can play above HIGH 'A's. I also feel that PATRICK'S approach to the instrument is what ALL brass players should use, including other brass players like trombone players, etc. I'm also now playing in a six piece band supporting one of the rudest swearing comedians in the world called 'ROY CHUBBY BROWN.' I highly recommend his book to any young or old trumpeter who wants to develop their RANGE, POWER & ENDURANCE

TONY CORISH

Thanks for your excellent method book - it's been very helpful.

Ed Trujillo

Patrick,

I just want you to know how much I appreciate all of your help. You took me with only 2 months of trumpet experience this year and now after 7 months of lessons from you (not to mention your 24/7 trumpet help phone line) I have received a scholarship to the Interlochen Center for the Arts High School. You taught me a foundation that I can build on for the rest of my life.

Thank You!!!

Curtis J.

Hi Patrick,

I bought your method book some time ago and am really enjoying it. It's all good stuff mate.

I was on the Monette site just now and saw the OCTAV-EYE-ZER! cilp. Very funny, would be even better at a gig, with a dead straight face of course.

Cool thanks mate, and maybe one day when I'm over there (or you here) we'll run into each other.

Ashley Markey

Hi Patrick!

Thank you for, "Hessions Sessions"... there are no high notes, just fast air...

Do you plan any concerts in Europe (e.g. Switzerland)?

Hi!

I've been reading your book and the first exercises have helped me a lot. The relaxers are a big help. I hope to see you some day.

Montgomery Anthony

Patrick,

Fabulous show in Ames, IA tonight. Thanks so much for the tips on using your technique book and on playing in general, breathing, etc. You happily spent time helping fellow trumpet players and I really appreciate it!

Perry Beeman

Your Hessions Sessions is the best method I ever used. I do it just as you state and I feel great. Dec 5 is 1 year that I have the book. Were are you playing and is the Maynard band going to perform ?


Yours truly,

Pio Beltrami

Hi Patrick,

I received your book last week. I have to say that I enjoy your playing and
professionalism very much - keep on holding the torch high!

I believe we may have met back in your Glenn Miller days as I was playing
lead for Artie Shaw (for 15 years) and the two bands played a number of gigs
on the same bill.

I have played lead with many of the big bands (Woody, Buddy, T Dorsey, etc.)
as well as in many singers road crews (T. Bennet, Sinatra, Rosmary Clooney,
etc.) and am still playing full time doing the shows and sessions in the
Boston area. I tell you this because I believe I know what I'm talking about
when I say that I think your book is timely, very informative and well
written.!!

I studied early with Dock Reinhardt and then Dave Stahl and Carmine Caruso
throughout jr. high and high school, and then found Bill Adam later after
Berklee when I went on the road. I really like and appreciate your
approach/philosophy and have found the book (in a short time) very
refreshing and helpful to my playing! I am rejuvenated in reading your book
and look forward to following your routine for a while...

Congratulations on writing a wonderful and necessary book - I wish I had
written it myself!

Best of luck in the future and I'll look for your next one...

Keith Kostick

Your book is right on. Each lesson is very clear. From DEC., 5 to now I made a lot of progress.

THANK YOU

PIO

Dear Mr. Hession, A couple of months ago I bought your method book "Hessions Sessions - Guide to consistent, reliable and sometimes, Invincible Chops" from your website. I..m a big fan of yours and I work as a lead trumpet player at one of the theaters in Stockholm, Sweden, playing musicals 5 nights a week. I always go and listen to you when you play in my hometown. The reason I..m writing to you is that I want to thank you. About 5 weeks ago I had to go through a big operation in my stomach. The recovery was very hard and painful but the recordings I have of you helped me a lot to get through that period of time. Now when I have started practising again I have been using your method book and the progress to get my chops back has been much easier than I expected. So what can I say more than THANK YOU! The next time you are in stockholm you might recognise me in the audience because I..m the guy in the front row applauding more than the others... God bless you JOHAN

I received your book MONDAY and played the exercises Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and I feel terrific! The best book I ever used.

Pio

Thank you Patrick!

Your book really helps me play more consistently.

David

I am really glad to hear of your recent achievements. Your book has greatly helped me with my upper register while playing with the Marine Band. I am transfering from San Diego to Parris Island, South Carolina on May 1, 2005. Please let me know when you will be performing in the Carolina area. I would love to catch one of your shows again. Take care and good luck.

Sincerely,

Jamie Walton

You have inspired me with your book and your bio. I am a freshman in high school and I use the B4L, it's amazing!!! It helps me out not only pitch wise but also playing long jobs. I play lead for my high school and I use your book. I can play an easy "Dubba A." Thank you for the book, Patrick, YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jake nelson

Hi Patrick your BOOK IS Great cant wait for the NEXT keep up the good work with MAYNARD..

CHEERS!

TONY CORISH

Dear Patrick:

I wanted to follow up with you on your Trumpet book. I'm the guy who bought your book for a double scotch and a few bucks at the Stratospheric event in Los Angeles at the LAX Four Points Sheraton. The book is really great. Kind of a one-stop, systematic distillation of a lot of playing concepts. I have managed to work my way through about half of the exercises and look forward to attacking the rest.

One of the things I found very helpful was your suggestion to sub-divide the beat while counting and breathing. By breaking the beat into sixteenths my mind could no longer wander to thoughts of insecurity, etc. It is a wonderful way to gain the focus your book preaches. There is a book out called The Inner Game Of Music that provides some exercises for focusing, but I found your approach much more helpful.

Thanks and I hope to catch one of your shows soon.

See ya,

MJC

Hey Patrick!

Great site! I saw you down at Croce's two weeks ago and I was so blown away! Your books is great too! a lot of your tips have helped my playing ability! Keep on playing! Nice new horn by the way! David makes some great horns... and mouthpieces too!

Bradley Saunders

Patrick -

The book looks great. Nice to have the emphasis on fundamental trumpet concepts. Relaxed breathing, subdividing, air speed. Good stuff!

Keith Holder

Okay....by no means am I a pro player....but I thought I would like to add my thoughts to this book since I just read it.

Pat's book has a lot to offer. Being a person who has gone through college and I myself always striving to be better, I always am looking for new Ideas...or changes on old ideas.

Pat's book goes into great detail about the mental side of trumpet playing. Which I love. He talks about dedication from the very first note to the last.

Without going into too much detail about the book, it is a very interesting read.

The Warm-up/routine exercises are pretty simple if you know your stuff. A lot of focusing on the air movement. It involves a lot of pedal tone playing as well as moving the air and supporting into the upper register.

I also would like to say that the exercises are put together well, and for the most part the directions are written right with the exercise it self....telling you what to do when you breath, and what to strive for. All in all....it's a great book.

Thanks Pat....

Matt

Hey Patrick,

I'm enjoying your "Hessions Sessions" book I just bought - nice format!

Thanks,

Andy Stobie

PATRICK, I HAVE TO SAY IM HOOKED!I'VE SEEN YOU AND THE BOSS 5 TIMES THIS YEAR AND AND THE BOSS COUNTLESS TIMES THE LAST TWENTY SOME YEARS ALREADY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE BAND AT LAX SHERITON AND VA. AND AT BLUES ALLEY IN WASH DC. FOR TWO MORE SHOWS. ANY WAY YOUR BOOK HAS HELPED ME IN RANGE, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO HIT DOUBLE G'S FOR PASS TWENTY YEARS, BUT I CAN DOUBLE C FOR THE FIRST TIME AND CAN DO IT REGULARLY, THANKS. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HOLDING ME BACK UNTIL READING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND LEADERSHIP ON HOW TO BECOME A BETTER PLAYER. HARD WORK DOES PAY OFF!!!!

MICHAEL SANDERS

Hey Patrick,

I 'm glad to see that you are getting such rave reviews. I too received your book a few months ago. It has proved to be a valuable addition to my practice routine. I've had the privilege to study with Roger Ingram a few times and am a regular student of Vaughn Nark. Your approach fits nicely with their basic principals and adds a few touches that I find helpful.

As a professional martial arts instructor I can relate to your emphasis on the mental aspect of playing and the importance of giving just the right amount of intensity to the task at hand. Efficiency of movement and clarity of intention is what I teach to my students also. I've come back to trumpet after several years of putting it down. I'm finding playing to not only be a release for me, but also a different way of integrating the philosophical and physiological concepts that I practice and teach.

I met you briefly in Phili in July at Zanzibar Blue. I've heard you play about 4 times now and every time you get better! Not only were you smoking' on the bandstand, you were certainly kind enough to chat with me for a few moments. I only hope that I can catch up with you in the future and get some personal insight into how I can better utilize your approach into my daily routine.

Best of luck to you!

No one 'method' book is going to be a silver bullet in terms of making anyone a vastly improved player. Being exposed to a range of ideas and approaches generally helps you form your own personalized approach, and I think Patrick's book has a lot to offer in this manner. It is very well written, and is based on sound, fundamental principles. You also get a sense of his enthusiasm for trumpet; he talks a lot about focusing your mind while practicing, and constantly striving to improve; valuable perspective for any aspiring player. I'm inclined to listen to anyone that has spent as much time as he has playing alongside the boss, and apparently has the same basic approach to the instrument. Every night he walks on stage he entering "the lab" in terms of applying the rules and principles, and has a chance to continually modify the approach based on his results. A very good read.

I ordered Patrick's book through the mail, and it came to me in a very timely fashion (unlike Tommy Martin, but I don't want to get started on that again) ... anyway I think the book is great, and offers a few new twists on a topic that has been written about much ... chops!

I rotate "chop" stuff I got from Bob McCoy, Joe Mosello, Schlossberg, Flow Studies, and Patrick's book as part of my daily routines .. I find giving the chops different things to work on keeps them in the best shape.

It's also laid out very well, and everything is explained well .. and obviously .. it works for Patrick!

I'd say go for it ... I think it's worth the money.

Alan

Great web site...Great book, I bought it...Looking forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh in Nov. My all time favorite Trumpet players, Maynard, Stan Mark, yourself & The Pgh. Symphony Trumpet section. I met you in Pgh. last year, besides being a great trumpet player, you are also a great person.

Don Taylor

Hi. After a week of using your book I have seen amazing progress. I always wonder why my high register lack volume and support. My practice time is more focus and rewarding. I thank you for an excellent book.

Hession's Sessions Guide to consistent, reliable and sometimes, Invincible Chops! For the sake of lead trumpet playing.

I don't typically review books on this site, particularly trumpet "method" books, and this is no exception. I haven't played trumpet since college, I'm no expert. However, I did recently get a chance to read Maynard Ferguson lead player Patrick Hession's new trumpet book, and it interested me enough to write a little segment on it.

Upon reading this book, you are left with one resounding impression about Patrick: he is deadly serious and extraordinarily committed to being the best trumpet player he can be. This book focuses on attitude and mental approach to playing the trumpet (or any brass instrument, really) more than any other method book I've seen. Rather than discuss minute technical specifics ("eee" vs "aah", for instance), Patrick focuses on concepts that he recommends players visualize and internalize. Granted, there are dozens and dozens of specific exercises in the book designed to improve your range, stamina and control, but what interested me more (since I no longer play) were Patrick's philosophies.

Both Patrick's writings and the "testimonials" in the book feel much more honest than most writing you would tend to find in a trumpet book. Nearly all of the testimonials mention Patrick's ability to shut obstacles out of his mind (such as criticism, fatigue, etc...) and focus purely on the task at hand. Many mentioned that Patrick does not have a lead trumpeter's stereotypical ego, but is genuinely interested in learning from every musical experience.

Patrick's chapter on breathing was particularly interesting, as he uses Maynard as an example of "breathing perfection" when it comes to trumpet playing. We've all suspected as much, but it's fascinating to hear these thoughts expressed by someone who stands 15 feet behind him on every gig.

If you're interested in reading the book (and trying out the exercises), the book is now available to order on Patrick's website (click the image below to visit).

Hi Patrick.

It's Andrew from Plaistow NH. I would like to say thanks for the new book you have out. I bought one a few months ago and after spending time reading, I have learned a lot from it. I like how you talk about breathing exercises and different studies for warming up. It has helped my lead playing a lot and I can hit notes that are insane and they are easy to play. Once again, thank you for your book and please stay in touch. See you later!

Your friend,

Andrew Giragosian

Hi Patrick,

I took your book and my horn on a week's holiday on a remote island off Greece last week - I spent 4 hours a day with the book -I couldn't put it down. I've found myself doing the breathing exercises wherever I am! - it has already made a big difference to my playing, I play with much more control and confidence already - so I'm sure after 12 months hard work it will be an amazing improvement. Already the guys in a 10 piece Latin band I'm in have said - wow, you're hot tonight - which for a guy that has never played above a high G, or struggled with my breathing was a fantastic boost - thank you Patrick.

I will be coming up from Wales to London on Friday 28th May to see you with MF at Ronnie Scotts Club - are you in a position to maybe give me a half hour or 15 minute lesson / chat? - it would mean so much to make sure I'm understanding the book correctly, I feel very secluded tucked away in Wales. Whatever the cost is not a problem, but I understand how busy you are, and how tiring your week there would be - I could come up the day before if it helps. Many thanks for this guiding light - I just hope I can do your book justice and achieve the notes as well as the exercise someday.

Thank you

Derek Lawton

Hi Patrick,

I've got your book thank you - I'm on my 3rd read before I start work with it - I'm off for a well earned week in a Greek villa next week, I'm taking an old horn, and that's where I'll start work with it. I'm a little scared, as I've never played a double C, but I really believe in your writing, and even if I never do, I'll be a far better player using this book!

The link below is a post I've put onto Trumpet Forum, under the post about your book - I hope that's OK. My handle is 'billystronghorn'

I hope that you will be with MF at Ronnie Scotts London this May, I will be up with my trumpet friends from Wales on Friday 28th May.

Are you available for a lesson on the Thursday / Friday / Saturday? - I would love to have one if so.

Many thanks Patrick.

I have purchased his method book and in reading the "General Approach", a light went on for me. I too March in a Drum and Bugle corps (Kilties) and have been told about about the importance of air for the upper register as opposed to pressure by various instructors in various terms. Maybe it's just the culmination of the all terminology used by all of those people and then how Patrick Hession phrases it that it just pushed it deeper into my brain where I could understand what everyone else meant. In any event I've incorporated his thoughts in the prefaces of each of his exercises, where he explains what the goal of the exercise is and how to do it properly to get results, into my regular routine (lip slurs in Arbans or Clarks technical studies exercises and etudes for example) as well as the exercises he's provided. The bottom line is this book is working for me and I look forward to the day that my chops too will be "invincible."

BellsSuperLube

I just received Patrick Hession's book on Wed. I had a few hours to kill before a concert so I thought I would start reading his book. First of all I think it contains some excellent information about trumpet playing. Second, his emphasis on concentration helped me realize that I wasn't concentrating like I should be. As a result, my performance on Wednesday night was much better than I had expected. I'm really glad to add this book to my practice routine.

chetbaker

I, also, recently received Patrick's new method book and, after a quick read-through, I think it is going to work very well FOR ME. Not knowing all of the methods Patrick, himself, went through (and I'm sure there were many!) it appears to me that besides the breathing , relaxing, range, sound aspect the book also seems to have strong influences from John Glasel's method, "Relaxation Techniques"...and from another extremely well-known method of one of MY biggest influences/teachers...Carmine Caruso. Since I've been "into" both of these methods for the past 30 some years, or so, I can't see how this book could do anything BUT help me given that there are MANY more insights from Patrick's own experience/career assembled all in one book in a logical, easy to understand method. Thank you, Patrick!!!

Butch

It is a very good book.
