Many young trumpeters do take weekly private lessons, but not everyone does for a variety of reasons. I hope that the information on this site can help us all get to play the trumpet better and enjoying both our practice time and performances.

Often I hear a student ask- “what should I be practicing?” The answer varies greatly with each person- mostly it depends on goals, amount of time devoted to practice and current ability level. I also think a general awareness of what good trumpeters sound like is extremely helpful.

Often it takes a while to get the intervals to go well, tenacity and a well define goal will keep you on track. Sometimes it helps to use different books covering the same material to help keep focus and freshness in the task. I find The Trumpet Teacher’s Guide- A Problem-Based Bibliography of Selected and Graded Etudes and Duets by Gordon Mathie very helpful in finding addition specific materials.
