    Considerations for a beginner player (especially if you will be self taught)
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2013*

Every serious trumpet player will recommend this book.BUT here are some things to think about if you're just starting out on the trumpet and someone tells you to buy this.My opinion as a beginner who started 2 weeks back and is mostly self taught:- Buy this book if you have a teacher and make sure you get guidance!- If you're self taught think hard before buying this book because you will need to supplement it with others (see below).What this book has:- Crash course on reading music: If you can't read music at all there are a few pages that will teach you. It is written fairly dryly though.- Great breathing exercises (very very important!)- Drills good habits into the beginner player- resting, long tones, harmonic slurs etc.Now what it does not have:- NOT COMPLETE BY ITSELF. This book references St.Jacome's 
  
Grand Method for Trumpet or Cornet







  
  
    . You will absolutely need to buy that as well. Yes people might say "but every serious trumpet player should already have this! And Arban! And 30 other books!" But for those of us who are just starting out and dipping our toes this is a consideration. Also St. Jacome is not cheap. This really should have been included in the product description.- Also on product description: It is completely borked. Everything here is written in treble clef.- Fun tunes. Picked up the trumpet so you can play tunes to impress your significant other/family/friends? This book doesn't have any- it is as technical as they come (ignore this if you think a series of arpeggios is a fun tune). For books that have a mix of studies and tunes you might want to look at 
  
Rubank Elementary Method - Cornet or Trumpet (Rubank Educational Library)







  
  
     or "100 Progressive Lessons" by David Hickman.- In-depth treatise on embouchure/tongue arch/ other things that people debate incessantly about. Instructions in this book are really sparse after the introduction. If you've been forcing out high notes or are having problems with your fundamentals this book will not help you very much. Instead take a look at 
  
Brass Playing Is No Harder Than Deep Breathing







  
  
    . Or try to take at least 1 lesson with a teacher.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This will help adults wishing to improve
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2017*

Many back row cornet players aspire to greater things; some simply do not have the time to improve but for those who can dedicate an hour a day, and have the patience to see their efforts mature, then this is the book to smooth their journey to easier playing and greater satisfaction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Solid foundation
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 8, 2012*

This book is perfect for building a solid foundation for the beginner, or struggling player. Claude's method will help you develop a comfortable range from pedal f, to high C above the staff. This is done in a systematic way, and can be done without a teacher. As long as you listen to what Claude has written, you'll be well on your way. However, I reccomend it to be completed with a teacher unless you have a musical background already. Good luck!
