[TPIN] Beginner Trumpet Timelines

[David Adams]

If you are getting them to do all those scales and that kind of  
range, I would say you are already accomplishing a lot in one year!   
As long as they are playing with a good controlled sound and can  
demonstrate flexibility, especially while playing softly, I would say  
they are well on their way - BRAVO!
