Entry level

KJOSFirst Performance Trumpet
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An entry-level trumpet book for a first- or second-year student. Best bought when a band director or teacher assigns it alongside regular lesson work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First- and second-year trumpet students starting to play real pieces
- A director's assigned title for a beginning band trumpet section
- An inexpensive add-on when a student needs more to play at home
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players past the first couple of years — the material stays beginner level
- Other instruments; this is the trumpet edition only
- Anyone after a specific song or chart rather than a student book
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 02
Trumpet edition
Trumpet part only. Other players in the same class need the edition for their own instrument.
Detail 03
$7.99
Low enough to buy alongside a main lesson book rather than choosing between the two.
Detail 04
Single student book
One copy per player. A four-trumpet section needs four copies, not one shared stand.
Detail 05
Print book
Paper pages take pencil fingerings, breath marks and counting — beginners mark up almost every line.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check the director's required title list; programs standardize on specific books
- 02Book only — no trumpet, mouthpiece, valve oil or stand
- 03Beginners still need a teacher; the book won't teach embouchure or air on its own
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What level is this for?
Beginners — typically a first- or second-year trumpet player, most often in a school band program.
02Can someone use this to teach themselves?
Partly. A beginner can read the pages, but building an embouchure and steady counting usually needs a teacher or director.
03Is there a version for other instruments?
This is the trumpet edition. Other instruments use their own edition, so order the one matching what's being played.
04Does each student need their own copy?
Yes. Players read from their own stand, so a section needs one book per student.
