Swing Bundle Volume 2 by Various Authors

Everyone who’s spent time studying classical trumpet repertoire will know that a huge portion of our practice time is devoted to studying etudes. Etudes condense the challenges faced in the broader solo and orchestral repertoire into small packages for solo practice, so that we can eventually apply the newfound skills to our performance repertoire.

At qPress, we’ve always noticed that there was a gap in the trumpet literature for jazz etudes. That is why we are excited to have discovered these books of swing etudes and duets. These titles allow us to develop technical skills and style away from the bandstand, so that when the stage lights shine, we feel prepared.
