Twenty Studies for Trumpet

This book provides solutions to very specific problems in the standard orchestral repertoire. For example, consider the etude called “It’s In There”, which addresses the issue of breathing in the famed Petrouchka excerpt. Another example is the etude which deals with the intervals and phrasing of Mahler’s third symphony. After mastering this etude, the challenges posed by the the original excerpt will cease to be as formidable as many musicians originally experienced them. The book boasts several of these “exaggerated” etudes along with other, more generally challenging studies. All of the etudes are intended to help you prepare for your orchestral auditions. This paperback book is spiral-bound for easy reading and comfortable use on a music stand.
