5.0 out of 5 stars THE Book for Trumpet Players, January 19, 2000

This review is from: Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet (Cornet) or Eb Alto, Bb Tenor, Baritone, Euphonium and Bb Bass in Treble Clef (Paperback)

I am a trumpet player of 23 years experience, and the Arban book is the "bible" for every trumpet player. It's focus is on "disciplined" music, and can give you a good baseline for moving into improv. Many clinic and all-state tryout pieces came out of this book tried by time. It would take years to master its total contents. I was playing "new" pieces out of it last night! It will also help keep you from buying dozens of etude books. The book is very methodical with each section introduced in several languages. There is no player who won't be challenged by it's content. It will carry you from middle school through college and waaaaaaaaay beyond. Looking for some of it's inspiration? Check out Wynton Marsalis' "Carnival" CD on Amazon!

The Arban's Conservatory Method for trumpet is truly the trumpeter's bible. If you practice this book hard you will become good. That is how great player Wynton Marsalis became how he is today. Buy it. Use it. Love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Great Great, April 8, 2003

This review is from: Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet (Cornet) or Eb Alto, Bb Tenor, Baritone, Euphonium and Bb Bass in Treble Clef (Paperback)

I am a trumpet player, but I also play french horn, euphonium, tuba, trombone, piano, and quitar. In other words, music is my breath and I reccomend this book to everyone who wants to get better at any brass instrument. No matter how good you are, this book will make you better. It will improve your range, style, tone quality, and rhythm. Use the etudes to practice tounging, slurs, rhythms, and reange. The more you do, the better you will get. This is THE brass textbook. I also reccomend 40 progressive etudes (studies) for trumpet by Sigmund Hering. In addition to this book, that book will give you some fun exercises and it will really show your progress. I reccomend both of these books as must-haves for every brass player.
