When it comes to jazz articulation, improvisation, and now, FLEXIBILITY, there has never been a better series of books written for the trumpet than Erik Veldkamp’s Big Book Series. They solve an extremely important problem that, for some reason, has never been tackled before: how do you inspire people to practice the core foundational areas of trumpet playing while stimulating their musicality and developing their ears at the same time?

For the first time ever, this gound-breaking series is being bundled together at nearly 50% off so you can enjoy over 300 pages of incredible jazz flexibilities that will work your ears and your chops in equal measure. The first two books begin with warmup flexibilities before taking you into flexibility studies based on jazz standards, and the third book focuses right in on Christmas music, which is perfect for studios and for players looking to mix it up so you stay engaged and mindful during your practice.

Book 1 is full of flexibility studies that are based on jazz tunes like “The Windmills of your mind”, “Libertango”, “Autumn Leaves”, “All the Things You Are”, and more. Verdi, Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin get a nod, too, and the familiarity of the underlying harmony will subconsciously facilitate proper phrasing and airflow. it is truly brilliant.

Book 2 has flexibility studies based on popular tunes like “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Trumpeter’s Lullaby,” “Pachelbel’s Canon,” “Tiny Capers,” “Moonlight Serenade,” “Hawaii Five-o,” “Stardust,” “Cheers Theme Song” and many more.

Book 3 is all Christmas, all the time, with flexibility studies based on traditional Christmas melodies like Silent Night, The First Noel, O Holy Night, and Mary’s Boy Child, as well as a host of others based on pop Christmas songs like Let It Snow!, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Sleigh Ride, and more.

Below you can see the full list if you want to click through and see sample pages from each. Below that you will find audio examples of Erik performing these studies himself, and above you can grab an immediate digital download.
