Jay Arnold writes in his foreword:

50 Easy Lessons For Trumpet is a presentation of the basics of trumpet playing in a concise form. Much thought has gone into the plan of work in order to present and solve the problems in a logical and progressive way. At the beginning of each lesson, those new elements that are to be presented are shown with a clear explanation box.

No information is given regarding the mechanics of holding and blowing the instrument. Such knowledge is best acquired in a face-to-face discussion with a teacher or an accomplished performer.

For many, this volume will be adequate to satisfy a need for a basic knowledge of the trumpet. For others, it will also serve as an inspiration to proceed to more advanced study.
