Summary of This Method
Designed as the logical continuation of a first cornet/trumpet method, this method is intended for students who wish to continue their progress after an elementary level. It follows on from the Edwards-Hovey Method for Cornet or Trumpet Book One, while remaining relevant if you have worked with another solid beginner method.
The content emphasizes a progressive skill development: it reinforces essential fundamentals (treble clef reading, rhythmic accuracy, stability of tone production) while introducing more musical demands. The goal is to transform "beginner" skills into reliable reflexes, in order to play with greater ease, better tone control, and a more confident understanding of transitions.
Through exercises and studies, the student is led to regularly work on coordination (fingerings/attack/breathing), intonation, and phrasing continuity. This progressive approach is particularly suited to musicians seeking a structured trumpet (or cornet) method focused on both technique and musicality, to build a solid foundation before tackling more demanding repertoires.
