Sigmund Hering was a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, in Vienna. who went on to become the first trumpeter in both the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra and, under Leopold Stokowski, with the Philadelphia Orchestra. His etudes books are many, and his prolific output has made his series of progressive studies some of the most used in the world.

These studies have been prepared with the idea of supplying an urgent need for pleasant and melodic material supplementary to the usual methods in the earlier grades of study. They advance by easy stages and are preparatory to the composer’s more advanced collection Thirty-Two Etudes. The trumpet teacher will find them extremely valuable in attracting and keeping alive the student’s interest, and they will be of great assistance in developing a musical background that will form a solid foundation for future progress in the art.
