Summary of This Method

Designed for the intermediate-level trumpeter, this Book & CD method offers a "play-along" approach focused on the jazz style, without requiring improvisation skills. The goal is clear: to enable you to sound with the energy and elegance of jazz through accessible arrangements that emphasize swing, articulation, intonation, and musicality. The content is tailored for instrumentalists who want to enjoy playing standards, work on tempo sense, and develop a more idiomatic interpretation while comfortably staying within a written framework.

Each volume in the collection includes 11 songs, with a slightly adjusted "variation" section to respect the range, tessitura, and characteristics specific to each instrument. This compatibility is particularly practical if you play in workshops, lessons, or wish to share the same repertoire with other musicians in the series. The repertoire includes: I Got Rhythm, But Not for Me, Embraceable You, A Foggy Day, Fascinating Rhythm, I've Got a Crush on You, 'S Wonderful, How Long Has This Been Going On, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Someone to Watch Over Me, and Strike Up the Band. An excellent choice to work on jazz style on the trumpet, enrich your standards knowledge, and build a more expressive playing, piece by piece.
