Great performers have proven that the trumpet can be successfully used for playing not only classic music, but also symphonic or chamber music from the classical, romantic or modern period just as well as any other musical instrument. No longer is contemporary repertoire considered unfit for the trumpet. Every sincere instrumentalist needs a regular study program. A daily practice of technical exercises and etudes is necessary for improving and maintaining the desired results. Regularly playing works of music should be the aim of every musician, amateur as well as professional. The best keys have been carefully chosen for trumpet and therefore many songs are not in the keys in which they were originally written. Also a number of other adaptations have been introduced to make the music more suitable for performance on the trumpet in B-flat.Composers include: Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Chedeville, Von Weber, Vivaldi, Geminiani, Mozart, Corelli, Bigaglia, Purcell, Clarke, Schubert, HIPSndel, Lavigne, Grieg, Haydn, Dvorssk, Saint-SaI'ns, and FaurI. The piano accompaniment is available as a free download.

First Technical Studies for Trumpet presents 127 short exercises organized into seven study patterns that train young trumpeters to develop consistency and confidence in coordinating valve movements while maintaining tone control. The studies establish a foundation of control enabling students to master more advanced technical study materials such as Clarke's Technical Studies for Trumpet with much greater success. Only major keys up to four sharps and flats are presented and the range peaks at the sixth harmonic.
