What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Trumpet part book

Single-line parts in trumpet's transposed key, so it will not line up with concert-pitch piano sheets.

Detail 02

Includes a CD

Recorded accompaniment lets you play the melody over backing instead of practicing unaccompanied.

Detail 03

Film theme arrangements

Melodies are adapted for one horn, so orchestral parts are condensed into a playable single line.

Detail 04

Printed book

Sits on a stand and holds pencil marks for breath spots and fingerings.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01A CD player or drive is needed for the audio disc
  2. 02Music stand and trumpet not included
  3. 03Some themes sit high; check your comfortable upper range first

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What level trumpet player is this for?

You need to read notation and have control across a working range. Film themes carry long phrases and sustained notes, so breath support matters more than speed.

02Can I play these with a piano accompanist?

The book contains trumpet parts. A pianist would need separate accompaniment music, since the trumpet part is transposed.

03What is on the CD?

Recorded audio to accompany the printed arrangements, so you can practice the melody over backing rather than alone.

04Will this work on cornet or flugelhorn?

Both share the trumpet's B-flat transposition and fingerings, so the parts read the same on either.
