Methodology
Bill Chase was a great advocate of long tones as an exercise for developing the embouchure, and attributed much of his ability in the upper register of the trumpet to this practice. He was also physically fit, having a set of exercises that he performed frequently. These included stretching routines learned from female dancers in New York's Latin Quarter, along with weightlifting.

Famous quotes containing the word methodology:
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
