Complete Mel Broiles Studies & Duets by Broiles, Mel

Mel Broiles, most known for his incredible tenure as Principle Trumpet of New York’s Metropolitan Opera, is known among the pantheon of great trumpet players for his fearlessness, accuracy, and dramatic style. Broiles was famous for his ability to play a beautiful melody that would have audiences eating out of his hand on the edge of their seats, and then switching gears and peeling the paint off the walls. As strong as Broiles’ legacy is as a player, he was equally revered as a great pedagogue.

This collection of etudes, exercises, characteristic studies, and duets were specifically designed by Broiles to direct eager students into becoming orchestral powerhouses capable of the strength, flexibility, poise, and grace required for first chair.
