David Gornston’s 168-page method series is broken up into three books. Book 1, “The Very First Trumpet Method” is a great primer that is as delightful as it is fundamentally correct. Inside you find 37 pages of melody, interval study, chord and chord progression exercises, as well as the beginnings of transposition. All of this is very easy and very gradual.

In the sample pages to the left, I have included images from the beginning, middle, and end of the book so you can see the progression. Give them a look, then grab an immediate PDF download above.
