With its complete and unified approach to playing the trumpet, this method will guide the player to a full three-octave range within a musical context. Trumpet and the Language of Music will develop your capacity to play in all keys to improve your transposition skills. Beautiful tone production and clean articulation are the constant focus. Accomplished musicians must read and sing the language of music quickly and accurately. Each chapter has a specific focus that will lead you to new levels of playing the trumpet.

Chapter 1 – “Bugle Song” explores the trumpet at the primary level of the bugle. Harmonic levels and tone production are combined in carefully graded sections to increase range and power. There is material relating to harmonic flexibility. Also included are exercises directed at developing security in the highest as well as lowest combinations creating a seven bugle format.

It expands the chromatic concept further than other methods. Pure chromatic scales in one, two and three octave formats are followed by studies of chromatic patterns. Also in this chapter you will find a section on whole tone scales, patterns and arpeggios.
