Description
"Learn to play trumpet from scratch" is a practical guide to playing the trumpet. No musical knowledge is required as the terminology is deliberately non-technical, and the exercises and demonstrations are aimed at those with no prior knowledge. Brass instruments are unique in that they do not have a built in sound: the musician creates the vibration and then works with the instrument to manipulate it and the result is undeniably cool! A mixture of the science of playing brass instruments, practical playing tips and demonstrations, this fun and informative course is an ideal introduction to playing one the of the best musical instruments in the world!
Don't have a trumpet yet or looking to upgrade? relax - the section on choosing an instrument has all the information you need to choose a suitable new or secondhand trumpet without getting stung!
Are you one of the other brass instrument sorts? relax - the principles of brass playing are the same whether you are holding a trumpet, cornet or horn so take this course if you would like a good grounding on any brass instrument.
Also included is an introduction to the Trumpet Gym series of exercises, which have been carefully crafted to get new brass players in the best habits, from the very beginning. This too is suited for beginners and is a great follow on from the Trumpet From Scratch! course.
