Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2020 1:10 am Post subject: Soprano Cornet Tutor Books And Studies |
|
|
Hi All ...
I was handed a Soprano Cornet in error at a rehearsal and was later 'outed' with much hilarity. Having borrowed the instrument I have started looking for tutor books aimed specifically aimed at the instrument - without success so far.
Has anyone got suggestions for a tutor book specifiacally for the Eb Soprano Cornet?
The only set of pieces I have been able to find is Jock McKenzie's 'Soprano Supreme'. Does anyone know of other studies for Soprano?
Thanks ...
Regards
Ben |

I haven't seen a text but, use Getchell book, piccolo trumpet books, and Eb solo literature as fodder. Then any music from the Eb soprano brass band book. _________________ Freelance Performer/Educator

I do not know if there is a such thing as a tutor or systematic method specifically for Eb soprano cornet that starts at a beginner level. It seems like the common approach is to apply what you already know from playing the larger instrument.
Scales & Arpeggios for Eb cornet by Philip Sparke
Order from June Emerson
Etudes & Duets for Eb trumpet or cornet by Mel Broiles
Order from Manduca Music

Play everything you have. The music doesn't know or care what you are playing. I had a friend email me yesterday asking about parts for baritone. I said the same thing. Just play whatever you have on the new instrument. _________________ Richard

If you're a beginner don't do it!!.
Soprano is a terrible instrument to learn on - you'd be far, far better learning on Bb cornet and (should you wish to) take up soprano playing when your playing is much, much more developed (think grade 8 Bb at the very least before it's appropriate to be taking up Eb cornet/trumpet). |

Hi all ...
Thanks to everyone for the valuable advice and I think probably TKSop is right. However, I am going to keep a list of the suggestions for the future and focus on the b flat instrument for a couple of more grades.
