Clarke (1867-1945) lays the foundation for a lifetime of trumpet mastery in this beginner's guide. Clarke presents a thorough exploration of trumpet dynamics, artistry, and the subtle nuances of musical expression using thirty lessons and 116 simple exercises designed to build up the "embouchure," a term applied to forming the lips, positioning the mouthpiece, strengthening and training the facial muscles, and acquiring endurance to produce a pure tone. Perfect for honing skills and building a solid repertoire, these annotated studies are arranged in order of complexity -- crucial for players of all ages, from students to teachers and anyone serious about trumpet performance.
