Concone Lyrical Studies for Trumpet
ALL of the pieces are worth playing - always striving to make them sound as beautiful as possible. And all the pieces are playable - some seem quite easy, but the 'make them beautiful' is what takes work, and is worth the effort. _________________ Most Important Note ? - the next one !
KNOW (see) what the next note is BEFORE you have to play it.
PLAY the next note 'on time' and 'in rhythm'.
Oh ya, watch the conductor - they set what is 'on time'. |

Flexus by Laurie Frink and John McNeil has done more for my playing than any other book. My second choice would be “Charlier 36 Plus” because it has so many etudes and constantly provides challenges. Honorable mention goes to the Charlie Parker OmniBook. |

What's your favorite trumpet/music book? Norman D'Ath Cornet Playing
Which book do you own that's most satisfying to work from? Arban's (I had a great trumpet player who was my first teacher named Richard Zunkiewicz and he could demonstrate/play everything in Arban's, it was something that really impressed me.)
What book have you found most useful? Norman D'Ath Cornet Playing and Mac Gollehon An Embouchure Update
Which book surprised you in a good way? John Daniels Special Studies for Trumpet and Earl Iron's 27 Exercises-the Iron's Exercises are seemingly simple yet extremely effective. _________________ Staying relaxed is 90% of trumpet playing |

I like the literature of the Jazz Age, especially the Great Gatsby. The music of those times and novels are awesome. When I need to write a college paper on my favorite book, I write about this novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Moreover, there is a lot of materials on it, such as https://studymoose.com/the-great-gatsby and many others. It really helps to save time and provide good interesting facts.

That's what I was going to say.

There’s a ton of wisdom in Paul Berliner’s “Thinking in Jazz.”
Here’s a review from Goodreads:
A landmark in jazz studies, Thinking in Jazz reveals as never before how musicians, both individually and collectively, learn to improvise. Chronicling leading musicians from their first encounters with jazz to the development of a unique improvisatory voice, Paul Berliner documents the lifetime of preparation that lies behind the skilled improviser's every idea. _________________ Jim Hatfield

The Saint-Jacome Manual by Eric Bolvin. A common sense guide to a Grand Method has become a favorite.
The Thibaud Series By Pierre Thibaud. It gets into everything. It's easy to measure progress.
The Rene Laurent Enseignement de la Trompette by Rene Laurent. A welcome surprised I enjoyed how well I was prepared to play music rather than run patterns.
There've been many books I wasn't prepared for. Back to practice. _________________ LB Bel Canto #59

Lots of good books out there. And lots of great stories about how we use them.
For me, the most important book (or series of books) is the Rubank Series. Primarily the Intermediate Book and the Advanced Volumes 1 and 2. But also the Supplemental Studies, Selected Studies, and Selected Duets Volumes 1 and 2. These were the first method books I used with a teacher, and thus were the most influential in my playing. I still use the books to this day. I'm currently going through the Supplemental Studies again, which is a great collection of lyrical/melodic studies.
A sentimental favorite is Clarke Technical Studies, which in one form or another, have been part of my daily routine on-and-off for 40+ years. Honorable mention to Colin Lip Flexibilities.
Mike _________________ Bach Stradivarius 43* Trumpet (1974), Bach 6C Mouthpiece.

Plus a few other Bach, Getzen, Olds, Carol, HN White, and Besson horns. |

It changes hour to hour. I just finished rehearsal of some John Williams and other big parts for a pops concert, so right now I am most grateful for Purtle guiding me through Gordon's "Systematic Approach" |
