[TPIN] Ten Indispensable Trumpet Methods

[Orion Development Corp - D. Arndt]

The definition of "method" is at play here.  

A "method" might encompass collections of books, in addition to the method 
authors originals.  For example, Claude Gordon's method is comprised of his 
own material, plus Clarke, plus Arban, plus St. Jacome...

So a method is not bound to any one "book".  There is a "one to many" 
relationship between a method and books/materials.  Or "One to one-or-more"

The definition of "comprehensive" also needs to be carefully considered.  

Comprehensive from what point?  Beginning?  Intermediate? (Advanced?)

Comprehensive toward what end?  Total mastery?  Technique? 

Can there be comprehensive "methods" geared toward the intermediate to 
advanced player, that might exclude in depth discussion of certain 
fundamentals?  Or no?  This would imply that Gordon's Systematic Approach is 
not a "method" (just as an example).

It could be that attempting to find individual books representing 
complete "methods" (in and of themselves) would yield a pretty limited list.

Does a "comprehensive" method geared toward the more advanced player
