Marco

Hey Marco. I have a good series of books to suggest for your learning. I`m only in 7th grade, but i love the trumpet and think the "standard of excellence" books by bruce pearson. you can prolly get them at ne music store. I think you`re doing really well for only learning for six months.

ther u go
u can email me if you need any more suggestions,

Go to any music store and they`ll have various books you can choose from. Like Shadow said, the "standard of excellence" books are pretty good (that`s what I learned on).
Hmmm, wouldn`t it be cool if they did write a "Trumpet for Dummies" book? I`d buy it.

you`re learning slow

Try to get a good teacher, and get into a local brass band. The more you play, the better you get, and like anything the more you work at it, the faster you progress. Go for tone and breathing. Range will come as the embrouchure settles in. Advice -Get a teacher! & play as much as you can. Enjoy it!

Thank you all for your messages!
At the moment I`m working a lot on long tunes, paying attention on intonation and breathing;I spend few minutes a day on high pitch...
Stay in touch

Hi,


My beginner book was "essential elements."

yeh, my teacher started me off on essential elements but then he switched me to the standard of excellence. I may not have that much experience, but i think i have an idea of what im talkin bout...
