We have paused the sale of this package as the Natural Trumpet Tutor is currently being submitted for publication. It will be on hand for the International Trumpet Guild Conference this May 2025. Check back mid-May if you want to order a copy. We promise it will be worth the wait!
The Natural Trumpet Tutor is the perfect starting point for the modern trumpeter wanting to explore the educational and pedagogical benefits of playing the natural trumpet.
The first volume draws from seventeen historical methods and collections, offering a broad scope of exercises, etudes, and duets, accessible for trumpeters at any level. The chapter on duty calls presents an overview of the trumpet's use in the military from the end of the 16th century through the early 19th century, illuminating the musical culture of the trumpet that originated in the use of privitive lip-blown instruments thousands of years ago.
In the words of François Georges Auguste Dauverné, teacher of Jean-Baptiste Arban at the Paris Conservatory:
“It is impossible to become a skillful trumpeter, in any style, if one does not begin with a complete study of the natural trumpet.”
