Trumpet Book is Very Comprehensive

By	Donald G. Young "Don Young" (Cranford, NJ USA)

This book is the most thorough treatment of the various aspects of trumpet playing that I have seen. Very informative and helpful. Even my current teacher, who has played with the Metropolitan Opera (NYC), was impressed.

About the Book

Sound the Trumpet: How to Blow Your Own Horn is packed with information no trumpet player should be without. The style is always friendly and often funny. Chapters are short, well-paced and enjoyable.
