Dr. Charles Colin and Aaron Harris teamed up to write this wonderful technical study book that includes 40 brand new etudes. These studies are technically demanding, and were designed to develop a sense of style for solo performance. These studies challenge a player's endurance, tonguing, command of articulation, and all around technical facility. This book is a part of the Charles Colin Complete Method, a set of 7 books written to cover all areas of study for the modern trumpeter.

Chris Gekker's 24 Etudes for Trumpet are meant to cover a wide range of trumpet playing areas. Everything from low register playing, multiple tonguing, legato intervals, supple and flexible articulation, and difficult key signatures. Chris is one of the finest trumpeters of his generation, and by combining his technical ability with his compositional aptitude we are left with a set of trumpet studies that are so fantastically idiomatic that trumpeters all over the world are raving.

From the Foreword, by David Baldwin: Here is a trumpet book that has been waiting 90 years to become a classic in the advanced trumpet etude repertoire. David Bertie has taken on the monumental task of completely re-imagining every aspect of this work. Aaron Harris first published this series of violin studies and technical calisthenics in 1930. While an impressive body of work, it has never become widely used by trumpet players because of its many shortcomings. With David Bertie's superb revision, this 'new' book is easily on the same level as the etudes by Theo Charlier, Walter Smith, or Chris Gekker. These pieces are not just for violin anymore. A trumpet player can now develop his or her skills to be as sophisticated a musician as any violinist on a Stradivarius!

Art Farmer, one of the most admired - and imitated - jazz trumpet/flugelhorn players of his day, brings the full weight of his experience to bear on these carefully crafted excercises designed to develop technical mastery of diatonic, augmented, and diminished scale patterns. Drills for mouthpice practice, warm-ups, lip and tongue slurs, and pedal tones are also included. The value of this book is enhanced by the inclusion of transcriptions of four of Farmer's solos: 'Manha do Carnaval', 'Alone Together', 'It Don't Mean A Thing', and 'Love you Madly', as well as a complete discography of Farmer's recordings.

High Notes, Low Notes, and All The Notes In-Between, by John J. Haynie, Music Department, North Texas State University. Inspired largely by Ernest S. Williams' Secret of Technique Preservation, this book contains textual material and studies on embouchure development, tone and the breathing process, fingering and tonguing, together with a series of tonality studies on each tone of the chromatic scale. Within each tone are studies on long tones, scales, trills, lip slurs, intervals, tonguing, chords. Widely used as study material in colleges, and considered an effective, systematic approach for preservation of technical abilities.

Read below what Roger Smith had to say about completing this momumental work from the manuscripts of Ernest Williams. We are all thankful for his hard work: 'The Ernest S. Williams Modern Method for Trumpet or Cornet is generally recognized by teachers and students alike as the finest and most complete ' School ' for Trumpet and Cornett hat has ever been written. Both the technical and the musical aspects of these volumes reflect the genius of Dr. Williams as a musician, and as a teacher.' 'I was privileged to study both Trombone and Baritone with Dr. Williams, in fact he was my only teacher on either instrument. After graduation from the Ernest Williams School of Music, I became a member of the faculty, and assisted Dr. Williams with the teaching of Brasses, under his direct guidance, and using this material. Dr. Williams commenced the revision of the books at that time for Trombone and Baritone, a task which he was never to complete. This revision, based largely on his manuscripts, is the result of my training as his pupil and assistant, and of my experience as teacher of Trombone at the Juilliard School of Music.' 'The principal problems were two; proper introduction of the positions on the trombone, which are more difficul to learn than the valve combinations on Baritone or Trumpet, and the contrasting techniques of legato and slur on the two instruments. For these reasons some chapters of the book have been revised considerably, and some new material added from time to time.' If you do not know this book, you have to take a look.
