How to get a good sound, read music, and master a variety of
styles-including classical, pop, jazz, and Latin
Listening to a trumpet trilla series of high notes during a
military march or wail longingly during a blues rendition-is a
pleasure second to none. And masters, including Wynton Marsalis and
Louis Armstrong, have made the trumpet truly Gabriel’s horn, one of
the most eloquent voices in classical music and jazz. Yet even a
virtuoso begins somewhere. This down-to-earth and user-friendly
guide shows those new to the trumpet everything they need know to
play the instrument-from basic technique (including getting a good
sound), caring for a trumpet, and learning pieces from many musical
genres.
* Demonstrates how to play classical, pop, jazz, and Latin-with
audio samples on the enclosed CD-ROM
* Includes tips on how to buy or rent the best instrument
An ideal guide for students just learning the trumpet, or
students who need a little boost, or fans of the trumpet who’ve
never got around to learning it, here is the complete guide to
making one of the world’s most popular-and beloved
instruments-their own.
