Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for beginners?
No. It expects you to already read music and have a working range and tone. Beginners should start with a fundamentals method first.
02Does it come with audio or backing tracks?
No. It is a printed book of etudes with no included recordings or downloads.
03Can I use this on cornet or flugelhorn?
Yes. They share the trumpet's fingerings and B-flat pitch, so the parts read directly.
04What is an etude versus an exercise?
An etude is a short piece written to develop a skill while still being musical. Exercises are drills; etudes sound like music.
