Karl Lahn’s Theoretisch Leichtfassliche Schule fur Trompete, or simply Complete Method for Trumpet, is a vital European trumpet method that we hardly ever see in North America. Don’t let the long German name fool you, it has just a few lines of text in the first few pages then it is nothing but focused and essential exercises.

How is it like an Arban? It covers all areas of playing and all key signatures exactly like an Arban does.

How is it better than the Arban? You don’t have to hunt around for lyrical MUSIC. Each section has exercises, scales, patterns AND melodic writing, giving the player something to sink their teeth into in each area. You are going to love playing these for the first time.
