Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet

"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. This edition features an Introduction and expert commentary by an instructor well versed in the Arban Method.
