Product Description
Designed to bridge the
gap between standard intermediate band method books and standard
advanced trumpet pedagogical material, Comprehensive Studies and Etudes for
Intermediate and Advancing Trumpet Players focuses on developing mastery in
the keys and instrument range of what an intermediate player is likely to encounter
in his or her everyday playing. The keys covered here in detail range
from those with three flats to those with three sharps. Keys with more
than three sharps or flats are only very briefly touched upon. In addition to
major, minor and chromatic scales, studies on pentatonic and blues scales are
also included.

Even
the best band method books often lack sufficient material targeting the mastery
of scales and arpeggios, and sometimes what they provide has been compromised so
as to enable all the instruments of the band to play together simultaneously. Additionally,
band method books often do not adequately cover certain techniques that are
specific to brass instruments, nor do they adequately include the type of
lyrical melodies that are best for developing individual musical expression and
characteristic vibrato. This book is provided to fill in those gaps. It is my
hope that your musicianship and mastery of the trumpet will be greatly enhanced
and accelerated through diligent practice of what is provided here.
Note:
The content of my book, Scales, Arpeggios, and Beneficial Studies for Intermediate
Trumpet Players, is included in this book.
