The Balanced Embouchure - By Jeff Smiley (see my post of this) www.trumpetteacher.net. Teaches embouchure, tonguing and wind power. Clarke's Technical Studies. Teaches Wind control, fingers, tongue/articualtion. These two book will keep you busy for a long time and master them both, you will be a monster player. All you need then is some MUSIC to play! |

I'd start with those two. I also think you should try and get a teacher to help you read music and basic trumpet stuff. You may wish to get the Arban book later on down the track but for now that should be enough. |

| All great choices. A great warm up book is "James Stamp, Warm-ups + Studies", this is a great book for building a great foundation for excellent playing and increasing your range. Another great book once you get a little more advanced is "Melodious Etudes for Trombone" by Joannes Rochut, it's all in bass clef so you want a solid foundation in treble clef before picking this one up, this is great for teaching how to have a constat stream of air in all registers. | ||

The amount of information in this book is absolutely mind blowing. Clarkes - already talked about Colins Advanced Flexibilities is a big book solely on lip flex. It's not for beginners however, as the studies are fairly difficult. |

the man at the music store by my house recommended Essential Elements....... Its good i guess,excersizes 1- 58 come on a cd, which you can listen to in order to see if you are hitting the right notes etc. but then after 58... you pretty much have to take lessons. so much for teaching myself... take trumpet lessons or buy a different book.. im still pondering what i shall do.. |

| If you want some crazy screamer chops then I'd reccommend Earl Irons 27 Groups of Exercise. It takes a while to get to it but those are the best lip exercises I've every played. Number 7 is the greatest warm up for myself. If the chops arn't doin what they should I bust out that book and it fixes em for me. Arban's is my bible when I'm practicing. If you actually practice it as opposed to skimming over each passage you can go from chump to champ. If you are just starting out then I would get the essential elements, thats what I played out of. Get a private teacher. When it comes to any trumpet book dont just play the exercise, realize what the author is trying to teach through that study and master it before advancing to the next one. | ||
