About the Book
As a kid growing up in rural Alaska, trumpet teachers and opportunities to hear trumpeters were pretty scarce. I wrote All About Trumpet so that people interested in playing trumpet will have a resource to learn good trumpet-playing habits, to learn about trumpet repertoire, and to learn about great trumpet recordings.
That being said, you should still find a good teacher to study with. No book can teach you all you need to know, but I hope All About Trumpet helps you on your way.

In recording the CD for All About Trumpet, I was fortunate to draw on the incredible skill and talents of some of the best musicians in the Chicago area including phenomenal jazz bassist Dennis Carroll, fantastic jazz drummer George Fludas, and the highly developed artistry of pianist Seán McCluskey, arranger Josh Moshier, saxophonist Andrew Haynie, and classical trumpeters Colin Oldberg, Jean Laurenz, and Paul Floreck.
