Summary: A "must have" book for all trumpet/cornet players
Review: Herbert L. Clarke is one of the most famous cornet soloists of all time. His lesson books have advanced the art of brass playing as much as anything else in brass literature. This book should be in every trumpet/cornet player's library, and it should be used on a regular basis to develop and maintain the player's technical skills.

Combined with Clarke's Characteristic Studies and Arban's trumpet method, the player will have enough of the right material to work on to the highest level of brass performance.

Summary: An absolute must!
Review: This book is THE standard book for developing technical facility on the horn. The key to playing any instrument well is learning your way around the instrument, and this book is the best way to get there. Every serious trumpet player I have every met, including myself, has used this book and continues to use it. You will literally never outgrow this book. Go all the way through it, and then start over at the beginning at a faster tempo, and then do it again, and so on. If you use this book faithfully you will be astonished at how quickly your playing will improve. This book is one of the fundamental building blocks of playing the trumpet, no matter what style you play.
