Recommended Posts

I know this is not quite on topic, but I couldn't find a better topic to ask this question in. I have been writing drill for high scholl band for four years and teaching trumpets. I have been asked to teach beginner trumpet lessons and I curious if anyone out there knows of and good books that have a continued program that works up to the high school level. Please let me know.

Are these "beginners" high school age or kids in elementary school? Also, are you a trumpet player yourself? If you're not then I'd reccomend sending them to a professional player/teacher in the area. They should know best how to take someone thru the different levels,etc.

My book reccomendations would be these.

"Physical Approach to Elementary Brass Playing"--Claude Gordon

"Harold Mitchel on Trumpet" Book I"

Phil

pro player/teacher since 1983

playing since 1967

Depending on their level.....Schlossberg's Dailey Drills, Arban's (no time like the present), Rubanks Method Books are good. Also Carmine Caruso's Brass Calesthetics.

I quite agree, "depending on their level", which is why I asked if these are little kids or teens or?? In my previous post. I suggested the ones I did based on if they're truly "beginners" and haven't played before.

I'm still trying to figure out Caruso tho. I mean, he was a sax player,heh. :rock: b**bs
