Hey,
My choices for the necessary books would be:
Arban's
Clarke's Technical Studies
Colin Lip Flexibilities
Max Schlossberg Daily Drills and Technical Studies
Just my thoughts. These are the ones that I use the most. _________________ '70 Selmer Radial

Some excerp books wouldn't hurt, nor would the Charlier etudes. _________________ "All music is folk music. I ain't never heard no horse sing no song." - Louis Armstrong |

The Bitsch Etudes are great to for modern Etudes. Most of those etude books that you can usually get through Leduc (not so sure about the spelling) are good, usually. |

After having played out from most of these above-mentioned books for many years, I picked up an Allen Vizzutti book (volume 1 of 3) on a whim the other day.
I tried the first technical study, and found that no, it isn't another re-hash of the Clark Technical Studies I've practically memorized! The patterns went in a different direction than what I'm used to, and it was like pulling teeth to get my fingers to follow the notes! Really good for me, but very humbling too. I'm looking forward to continue and see what other tricks he has up his sleeve.
Moral to the story: Don't get complacent playing the same old etudes all the time; force yourself to play regularly from different material and learn new tricks _________________ Always find some time to practice!

The Clarke Characteristic studies are great. Very underated..You should be able to play the first 7 or 8 of these before jumping into Bitsch or Charlier. Get a Brandt book also... |

Another absolute must have method book I have decided is the Maurice Andre "Exercises Journaliers" collected and arranged by Vicente Lopez who was an Andre student. Published/edited by Gerard Billaudot.
Nicely laid out and multi lingual. Sets up 8 distinct daily drills in all keys. Quite expensive here in the states (approx. $ 40-50) but I feel anything with Andre's name on it is a must have and well worth it in the long run.

You should get top 50 orchestral excerpts by Philip Norris Crown Music press.
I find this book to be excellent it has suggestions, mistakes to avoid, what type of trumpet to use etc. _________________ NY Bach 07

What about Sergei Nakariakov He did Moto Perpetuo. Wow! It really gets tough especially near the end w/ the octave jumps. |

Hey Kurick,
My favorite method is a series of 4 books by Harold Mitchell and published by Hansen. He has 84 progressive lessons in these books, and they are 1) MUSICAL and 2) complete as far as the basics of playing the horn.
Arban, Clarke Technical Studies, Irons and Charles Colin lip Flexibilities, Allen Vizzutti's Method (3 books) and Don Jacoby's Method (Jake's Method) are all great as well.
As far as solo stuff, Robert King Music (at http://www.alphonseleduc.com/) is a great resource for us brass folks. All the best to you. _________________ God's Peace,

As a new player I would recommend the books mentioned above - especially Clarke, Arban and Sclosshberg. My only complaint is the range in some of the exercises tend to be a bit ridiculous if you haven't been playing long. Instead of focusing on being musical you tense up as that G on top of the staff gets closer and closer...
If you haven't been playing long you should include Getchell's "First Book of Practical Studies" and Herring's "40 Progressive Etudes For Trumpet." I have both and use them when I want to focus on creating a nice fat sound with clean articulation and dynamics. It's great to transposing too! _________________ Eric M. Brewington
