O2280 - Technical Studies for the Cornet - (English, German and French Edition)

This book was reccommended to me by my new and current trumpet tutor, Glenn Bengry of Michigan. It is everything he said it would be. Enjoying practicing the exercises under Glenn's guidance. I am a 62 year old comeback trumpeter, having been off the trumpet since 1965. After not playing in over 46 years, with the exception of one period of a couple months in early '94, and then was without professional tutoring. I began studying the trumpet in beginner's band in school in 1959 or thereabouts, but quit just before my third year of high school was to begin, due to gum disease that resulted in all upper teeth being removed. I was just 16 years old. Have been practicing since Nov '10, took my first trumpet lesson in Feb, '11, and just had my third lesson last Tues. I am committed to constantly working on improving my trumpet skills, with the goal of performing with bands on regular basis starting as soon as I'm ready. Joined up with a local concert band last Nov., and have sat with them in rehearsal several times since, but haven't felt prepared enough to actually play yet. Feel now that I am getting very close to that day; have outstanding invitation to sit in with the band as often as I want, without any pressure whatsoever to actually play. Great bunch of people/musicians. Highly recommend this book to any comeback trumpeter especially as a tool for getting back their trumpet skills, and improving them.

This book is an amazing technical study, one of the best trumpet books there is to help you learn about technical studies.

Along with Arban's, many people swear by these studies written by Clarke and it's easy to see why. Exemplary instrument workouts and a great addition to one's warm-up routine.

It had been years since I lost track of my copy of this book and decided it was time to get back to it. My order was received promptly and the book, although used, is in great shape. Can't wait to get back into this great book.

This book has been around since I started playing many years ago. It's still the standard for developing good technique. I recommend every serious trumpet student spend 15 minutes a day on the exercises to keep you chops and fingers working.

I don't know why some customers say this book is for beginners. I'm a beginner and I bought this book when I opened it I thought people are right this is for advanced players but since I don't know the fingering for the lower notes so I wrote the fingering for the excercises on the first page and started with lesson 1 and 2 and I'm doing great . The excercises are going smoothly. I'm sure by studying this method everyday will make me a better trumpet player.

It's a standard book, get it.

a must have for every serious trumpeter will build your chops I used it for more then 8 years it helped me to take a not above staff to high c in short time. but practicing every day!

ein Muss für den Blechbläser. Das Referenzwerk für die Technik des Ventilblechbläsers schlechthin lässt keine Lücken offen. Alles kann man hier üben: Finger, Lippen, Zunge und Atmung, und wer alles beherrscht und koordinieren kann, der braucht sich dann ausschliesslich noch mit Musizieren zu befassen. Unendlich viele Variationsmöglichkeiten der einzelnen Übungen verleihen diesem relativ dünnen Heft das Potenzial einer ganzen pedagogischen Bibliothek zu diesem Thema. Allerdings verlangt es auch eine an Sturheit grenzende Motivation. Es gehört einfach zu jedem halbwegs seriösen Studium des Ventilblechblasinstruments. Der Erfolg ist dann proportional zur Menge des eingesetzten Schweisses...

ok

What else can be said about the Clarke book. It's been a standard in trumpet playign since it was written. In my opinion, every trumpet player's shelf should include this and the Arbans book. After that, which way you go is entirely up to you. This edition is clearly laid out, the manuscript is clear and easy to read, and I use it in my practice every day.

This method is specific for serious trumpet students, or pros alike to keep brain+fingers musical agility. Its self explanatory for trumpeters. Any student trumpeter at the 3rd year can start this complementary book to gain considerable ease at playing+reading. A must daily and weekly practice. -- Etienne S, musician, educator; 47 years on the horn ! - Cette méthode est spécifique pour tout étudiant trompetiste sérieux, et aussi pour les pros, pour garder l'agilité du doigté et du cerveau. Pour les trompetistes, cela s'explique de soi-même. Tous les étudiants, a partir de la 3eme année de pratique peuvent commencer cette méthode complémentaire à leurs autres études, pour aquérir une aisance considérable à jouer et à lire la musique. C'est une pratique quotidienne et hébdomadaire. Etienne S, musicien et éducateur; 47 ans de trompette.

Excellent stuff for Trumpeters ! A real fundamental way to progress ...
