10 Improvisational Trumpet Etudes - Paperback

by Jeff Coffin (Author)

Originally written with flute players in mind, 10 IMPROVISATIONAL TRUMPET ETUDES actually works great for trumpet too! These etudes cover a wide variety of standard jazz material and are recommended for jazz as well as classical players.

Streaming MP3s and free downloads are included so you can listen to and emulate the style, articulation, and feel of the etudes. The free streaming (and downloadable) trumpet MP3's are available at www.jeffcoffin.com/trumpet

These 10 Improvisational Trumpet Etudes are performed by five of the finest trumpet players in the world...Randy Brecker, Sean Jones, Bill Fanning, Augie Haas, & Jose Sibaja.

In the places where you see notes above/below each other, that is because of certain range concerns. Play what part works best for you but remember to fully use your air support to play in the upper register.

These etudes were originally played and transcribed on flute by saxophonist/woodwinds virtuoso Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band/Bela Fleck & the Flecktones) and demonstrate his experience, expertise, and passion for music, improvisation, and music education.
