O2280 - Technical Studies for the Cornet - (English, German and French Edition)

It had been years since I lost track of my copy of this book and decided it was time to get back to it. My order was received promptly and the book, although used, is in great shape. Can't wait to get back into this great book.

This book was reccommended to me by my new and current trumpet tutor, Glenn Bengry of Michigan. It is everything he said it would be. Enjoying practicing the exercises under Glenn's guidance. I am a 62 year old comeback trumpeter, having been off the trumpet since 1965. After not playing in over 46 years, with the exception of one period of a couple months in early '94, and then was without professional tutoring. I began studying the trumpet in beginner's band in school in 1959 or thereabouts, but quit just before my third year of high school was to begin, due to gum disease that resulted in all upper teeth being removed. I was just 16 years old.Have been practicing since Nov '10, took my first trumpet lesson in Feb, '11, and just had my third lesson last Tues. I am committed to constantly working on improving my trumpet skills, with the goal of performing with bands on regular basis starting as soon as I'm ready.Joined up with a local concert band last Nov., and have sat with them in rehearsal several times since, but haven't felt prepared enough to actually play yet. Feel now that I am getting very close to that day; have outstanding invitation to sit in with the band as often as I want, without any pressure whatsoever to actually play. Great bunch of people/musicians.Highly recommend this book to any comeback trumpeter especially as a tool for getting back their trumpet skills, and improving them.

a must have for every serious trumpeter will build your chops I used it for more then 8 years it helped me to take a not above staff to high c in short time. but practicing every day!

I don't know why some customers say this book is for beginners. I'm a beginner and I bought this book when I opened it I thought people are right this is for advanced players but since I don't know the fingering for the lower notes so I wrote the fingering for the excercises on the first page and started with lesson 1 and 2 and I'm doing great . The excercises are going smoothly. I'm sure by studying this method everyday will make me a better trumpet player.

Easy purchase would buy from again

This book has been amazingly helpful for this french horn player. As of two months ago, I couldn't go above a high g. Now, I'm playing consistently a's as well as the occasional Bb. Just by warming up with the chromatic scales, I've pushed my range up in a very short amount of time. I don't know the effect it would have on any other instruments, but I suspect it would be similar. For french horn players hoping to expand their ranges, this book is a must!

Arrived quickly. I bought this for my son. He’s happy. I’m happy.

Even though this book is for cornet, I bought it anyway and I play French horn.It is very useful for horn in many areas including lip slurs, breathing, finger exercises, range, control, and overall technical crispness.Some of the exercises can be quite high for horn, but I expected that. It does the job and am happy with my purchase.

This method is specific for serious trumpet students, or pros alike to keep brain+fingers musical agility. Its self explanatory for trumpeters.

Correspond à ce que j'ai commandéDe bonne qualité et réception rapide dans emballage correct

Excellent stuff for Trumpeters ! A real fundamental way to progress ...

Amis trompettistes, vos doigts sont disons... pas très agiles ? Pas de problème. Ayez beaucoup de volonté et cette méthode va vous transformer. Mais bien entendu et vous le savez, sans votre travail régulier, elle ne vaudra rien. Très bon outil de travail. Moi je l'adore et je ne suis pas prêt d'arriver au bout. Je ne sais même pas si j'y arriverai un jour.

I don't think that there is a trumpet player who hasn't used Clarke's studies. If someone is playing trumpet on the moon, it is almost guaranteed they have a copy of this book. And if they don't, it is because they have it memorized.
