"It always has been strange to me that so many cornet players seem to have
such a strong antipathy against spending money for music,
or anything which possibly might help them to improve their condition...Yet they
spend[ ]...for...extravagances that really count for nothing.
If these same people would spend...for cornet methods and studies...in a short
time their advancement would be noticeable."
- Herbert L. Clarke, How I Became A Cornetist
Every serious trumpet
player needs good practice materials to succeed. With this in mind, I have
presented here valuable resources for the trumpet player's daily practice
routine. I have divided these resources into common categories
corresponding to the variety that should exist in the trumpet player's
routine. In the Etude, Flexibility and Scale/Technical Studies categories,
I have listed the books in ascending order from easy to difficult. In
addition, I have also listed the publisher and a suggested distributor for each
item. I have also included links to contact information for the publishers
and distributors. This list is by no means meant to be complete and will
be updated periodically.
