Description

"The trumpeter's bible" for over 150 years, this complete pedagogical method contains hundreds of exercises, beginning with basics and progressing to advanced compositions, including the author's famous arrangement of Carnival in Venice. J. B. Arban discusses every aspect of playing — including articulation, tonguing, slurs, tone, and range — sharing the knowledge he acquired from many years of experience as a teacher and performer.He offers an appreciation of all the instrument's inherent difficulties as well as instructive points that touch upon all possible musical questions. The Paris Conservatory's Committee on Music Study noted, "This work is rich in instructive advice, is based upon the best of fundamental principles, and omits not a single instructive point which might be needed for the development and gradual technical perfection of a player." This edition features an Introduction and expert commentary by an instructor well versed in the Arban Method. Read more

    • This is the one that will take you all the way
After playing for 4 years it took me another 4 years to get through this book, but at the end I was playing Carnival of Venice and Flight of the Bumble Bee double and triple tonguing. Trumpet is easy to play and difficult to be very proficient. If you are a serious player, then this is the book you already have or should have. It will challenge you to excellence. ... show more

    • Intensive Study in Trumpet
This is an extensive study for trumpet which provides benefit for any level of musician. The unfortunate part of this book, which is more a deficiency with me, is that it is written for the serious player who has a dedicated practice routine. My practices are here-and-there, when I can get them in, and I might go many days without practicing at all, depending on life's demands. This course is not suitable for that kind of practice! If you are a serious student, or even a hobbiest who dedicates an hour every other day for practicing, this book is for you. And, of course, if you are a professional who dedicates many hours a day, this book is a great addition to your routine. If you are like me, and only practice every now and then, this book is an interesting read, and good for stirring ideas by practicing through the exercises. But we will probably get more use out of a less intensive study, as we will find much of what this book has to offer out of reach in our limited rehearsal regiment. ... show more

    • there's not much to say. it's the Arban book.
if you need the Arban book, this is the product for you. If you're not sure if you need the Arban book, you probably don't need it. Yet.

    • Could have more descriptive info on contents.
The book has a lot of content that was beyond my abilities. I am starting to relearn how to play trumpet after 50 years. I have to start with elementary information.

    • Worth the money.
I can't believe this thing is still in print. I had one in high school long ago. I recently got back into playing after years away from my trumpet. Lots of good exercises to rebuild my chops. Worth the money.
