[TPIN] Ten Indispensable Trumpet Methods

[Michael Anderson]

I use Wurm as well. Also Kopprasch I and II.

Another very unknown set of French etude books are by Guy LaCour.

These 100 half-sheet etudes start very very simply and progress gradually to
be extremely difficult. If you work your way through both volumes you will
come in contact with just about every musical challenge you will find in 90%
of the music you have to play. The etudes are only half pages, so they
aren't chop killers to get through and work on. I highly recommend them and
all my undergrads go through them religiously. My teacher Denny Schnieder
made me do it, so my guys have to. ;-)

Also, I'm using a lot of free stuff that's online now to try and save my
guys some money buying books.
