Arban studied at the Paris Conservatoire and led a prosperous career as a versatile and accomplished musician. Celebrated Complete Method of Trumpet Valved Cornet and Saxhorn is divided into three parts which incorporate a vast variety of musical elements. Part 2 includes fingering scales chromaticism ornaments intervals triplets semiquaver studies chords pedal notes and tonguing.

Although primarily designed for trumpet these exercises can be played by any treble brass instrument. This book complements any tutor book by consolidating areas which tutor books do not have room to cover. Of particular note is the way each section starts with very simple exercises providing a large amount of material for complete beginners which is simply unavailable elsewhere. The famous 'Arban Method' is hugely popular for any player above grade 5 standard but there is nothing comparable for beginners.Arban Lite is far more comprehensive than anything else on the market and covers all areas of technique and musicianship which any pupil will encounter upto grade 5 and covering areas which pupils previously had to buy a multitude of separate books.
