What this method provides the modern trumpeter:

1. Prepares students for both classical and modern music through a practical application of all FUNDAMENTALS;
2. Maintains interest by using melodies as studies in preparation for professional or avocational playing;
3. Approaches and develops- technique through theory;
4. Incorporates ear training for better sight-reading, improved intonation, and “playing-by-ear”;
5. Teaches logical rhythm reading by emphasizing the relationships of time-signatures and note values. Mr. Gornston’s approach to rhythm study is internationally famous;
6. The introduction of new notes and the extension of range is in all cases gradual yet challenging;
7. All fingering charts are used as “studies” and are accompanied by illustrations for the attainment of greater proficiency sooner;
8. Strategic transpositions of standard melodies broaden general musicianship and prepare the player for “key fluency”, modulation, etc;
9. Seven basic scales and chords are introduced in Book I. Advanced keys, scales, and chords, along with additional developmental material, move the student progressively through Books II and III;
10. Intervals, chords and chord progressions develop technique and understanding, which leads the student correctly into classical music, modern improvisation, and dance styles. A foundation is provided for further study of theory, harmony, composition, and arranging;
11. The juxtaposition of the text in three languages provides an introduction to language study which is being stressed so greatly in all modern education.
