5.0 out of 5 stars Trumpet Book is Very Comprehensive
By  Donald G. Young "Don Young"amazon (Cranford, NJ USA)
(REAL NAME)   
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.

Free Stuff to Help You Improve

Why give stuff away? I believe education is more powerful and more important than capitalism. I believe that people generally want to take care of each other and do the right thing. I believe people trying to make themselves better at anything shouldn't have to pay to do it.

I've given away well over 1,000,000 PDFs from my books since 2001, and always will make digital copies of my books and other useful stuff available when I can. Thankful e-mails from all over the world let me know I'm on the right track. I hope these resources help you become a better musician.
