Summary of this trumpet method
This trumpet collection, subtitled 16 new studies from grade 3 through 6, offers a series of progressive studies for students who already have some experience and wish to take the next step towards more confident and expressive playing. The goal is clear: to consolidate essential skills (breath control, articulation, rhythmic accuracy) while developing more fluent sight-reading and better control of dynamics. With an announced intermediate difficulty level, the book is equally suitable for lessons and regular practice at home.
The content is particularly well suited to educational use: a study can serve as a targeted warm-up, an assessment tool, or a starting point for working on ensemble, tone consistency and stability in technical passages. The CD adds a practical dimension to the learning process by helping students set the tempo, check intonation and better understand the expected performance style. It is an effective tool for making methodical progress, building confidence in sight-reading and developing good trumpet practice habits.
Published in 2001 (ISBN: 9789043112697), this concise and focused book is easy to incorporate into a yearly study programme: it complements a main method, prepares students for intermediate-level examinations and expands the essential study repertoire needed to improve control and musicality.
