Twenty Trumpet Tyro Duets is a sequel to our Twenty Trumpet Pioneer Duets. The trumpet duets in this book cover a range up to fourth space E and are written in up to three flats and three sharps. There are twenty duets in this book, but some of the duets have as many as three different versions. Counting all the different versions, there are thirty-four duets in the book. The different version of each duet help the students comprehend the theory behind the music. They learn the music theory by playing it on their instruments. These Trumpet Tyro duets make great trumpet lesson assignments. They are not meant to be sight-read by Trumpet Tyro level students. For sight-reading materials for students at the Trumpet Tyro level, we recommend the Twenty Trumpet Pioneer Duets book.

There aren't enough good duet books for beginner trumpet players. Twenty Trumpet Pioneer Duets takes twenty steps towards remedying that problem. The Trumpet Pioneer student is a beginner trumpet player that has a range up to tuning note C, can read in one flat and one sharp, knows basic quarter-note rhythms and can play in two-four, three-four and four-four time signatures. This book includes twenty duets written to match these qualities.

Tonalization Studies come from a system of scale exercises that make it easier for students to learn the keys as opposed to just learning finger patterns for scales. The scale exercises are setup in a way that encourage the students to think in the keys, often to the point that they can self-correct when they make mistakes. The benefits of the Tonalization Studies include better sight reading, transposition, improvisation, intonation, finger technique, tone, and range. The Tyro Tonalization studies are specifically for students with a range up to the fourth space E. We call these students "Tyro" students and it is the second level of our seven skill level system. This book has exercises in seven different keys; C, F, G, D, B flat, E flat and A. Tonalization Studies are range limited and work perfectly with Eddie Lewis' One Range method. You can read more about building your range using similar exercises in Eddie's book titled One Range, A Trumpet Chops Strategy Guide.

Trumpet Chops Tyro is number two in the Trumpet Chops series. It is a trumpet warm-up routine designed to be used by trumpet players who are no longer beginners but haven't developed all of their necessary skills yet. Trumpet Chops Tyro is for trumpet players who have a range up to fourth space E. It includes exercises in seven different keys. The complete Trumpet Chops series covers seven range and skill levels. Trumpet Chops Pioneer is for beginners with a range up to tuning C. Trumpet Chops Virtuoso is for expert trumpeters with a range up to the G an octave above the staff. The series is used systematically to encourage strength through daily practice.

Many trumpet players struggle with chop problems. It's demoralizing when you know you are a great trumpet player, but your limitations in endurance and range exclude you from crucial opportunities. The question is, how do you develop range and endurance without putting all your eggs in the high note basket? Most great trumpet players with limited chops deplore the idea of practicing high note methods! They want to be able to grow their range and endurance in a way that will not sacrifice their current strengths. There are dozens of practice routines available to the modern trumpet player with new ones being added at a dizzying rate. Some of us already know what works for our specific needs while others seem to be swimming aimlessly through a sea of exercises and confusing information. Amid so many options, the Trumpet Chops series stands out as being not only physically but also musically beneficial. Trumpet Chops Player is for trumpet players with a range up to the G above the staff.

One Range, from the pedal tones to the notes above the dreaded double C. One Range is a strategy guide for trumpet players to help them grow their strength in a way that maintains all of their current abilities. One Range is not an exercise book. There are no high note exercises on these pages. There are no exercises at all. The book is 100% text. Instead of gaining a better range through pounding your chops with high note drills, One Range helps you build that range in a more natural manner. You can even use the exercises you are already practicing with slight modifications.

Go With the Flow for Trumpet by Eddie Lewis includes twenty-one original flow study etudes tailored to be used with the Daily Routines book. With three etudes for each of the seven levels of the Daily Routine book, the Go With the Flow book begins with simple quarter-note and half-note flow studies limited in range to tuning note C. It progresses to advanced flow study etudes which cover a full professional range. The etudes systematically cover all twelve keys and a variety of time signatures. While the Go With the Flow book was originally intended to be used as a supplement to the more popular Daily Routines, it is also used by some trumpet players as a more musical alternative to a physical trumpet warm-up. Flow studies are a trumpet tradition rooted in the teaching of cornetist Herbert L. Clarke who taught them as moving long tones. They feature mostly step wise motion and are primarily slurred. The purpose of practicing flow studies is to develop greater control of the air-stream.

Band Scale Expansion Studies for Trumpet is designed to help school trumpet students to master their band scales. Band directors often have scale tests, sometimes for grades, sometimes for chair placement in the band. Before you buy this book, please confirm that the band scales for your band are the same as the ones targeted by Band Scale Expansion Studies for Trumpet. Do your band scales begin with quarter-notes, ascend one or two octaves in eighth-notes, peak on a quarter-note in the top octave, then descend in eighth notes to the first note? If those are your band scales, then the Band Scale Expansion Studies for Trumpet will work for you. Simply follow the directions in the book and you will be mastering your scales in no time.

Trumpet players! Do you need to improve your range, endurance, flexibility or sound? Daily Routines is a proven approach which has helped thousands of trumpet players grow in strength without having to resort to annoying high note methods. Daily Routines is NOT a high note method. Yet, most of its users have greater range than people who call themselves "screamers". The difference is that Daily Routines does not work on range separately from other aspects of trumpet playing. Range is a by-product of strength, and strength comes from very specific daily practice habits. With the Daily Routines book, you can play higher with greater endurance AND produce a quality sound. The systematic design of the routines makes the progress automatic. There is no need to stress over physical mechanics. The book is designed so that playing the exercises in the correct order automatically leads to proper physical technique.

Note: this is the perfect bound version of Celebrations. Do you enjoy playing trumpet duets? Playing duets with friends or your private trumpet teacher is a fun way to learn how to play the trumpet.

The unexpected twists and turns make the book fun to work through, and the diverse styles (including baroque, classical, salsa, jazz, guapango, and African 12-8) keep it interesting. While the music is highly entertaining and enjoyable to play, this 165-page book is about more than just entertainment value. Each of the 101 duets is composed around a particular skill. By the time a musician has mastered a piece, he or she will also have acquired or honed a valuable skill. The Celebrations duet book offers so much value for money: rich entertainment subtly embedded with invaluable lessons and challenges designed to promote musical growth.

THE CALLING, a compendium of over thirty original compositions for unaccompanied trumpet, is a musical journey like no other. Representing more than two decades of composition, these trumpet solos are presented in chronological order. As a unified work, the pieces in THE CALLING tell a story. It is a story of faith, of friendship, and of sincere admiration. THE CALLING begins with Lewis' first unaccompanied trumpet solo, We Shall See, composed in the mid 90's. It ends with a series of inspiring teacher tributes. Each of the solos in THE CALLING can be used as both a performance piece and lesson study material. THE CALLING is not, however, an etude book. It is an ambitious anthology of bold and captivating original performance pieces for the unaccompanied trumpet.

The Threshing Floor takes a look at current events through the lens of Bible prophecy. The Bible instructs us many times to watch and be ready for the Lord's return. In this book I attempt to identify the signs that we are to watch for, as well as the ways we are to prepare ourselves for the Lord's return. In addition, I look at how we are to act and react towards a government system that is stripping Christian believers of their freedoms to worship and obey God in sharing the gospel of Christ. I interpret prophecy primarily through three methods. First, I look at past precedents for how ancient prophecies have been fulfilled. The literal fulfillment of prophecies pointing to Christ's first coming indicate there will be a literal fulfillment of end time prophecies. In this book I link Old Testament prophecies with New Testament prophecies in a logical way so that they are relevant and understandable today. Secondly, I interpret prophecy by looking at the big picture of history from God's view point. The Bible reveals the witnesses of God from the beginning of time to the establishment of His eternal kingdom. I identify the different groups through history and the process which God uses in choosing His servants. God follows a three step process where He identifies His servants, prepares them to serve, and finally commissions His servant to go out into the world. Through this process, God always gives His servants promises with conditions attached. In this book, I identify the promises and the conditions of God along with when they will be fulfilled in God's time frame. The third way that I interpret prophecy is by understanding the main message behind the imagery in the writings of the prophets. Future events depicted through imagery always reveal the fulfillment of the past promises to the servants of God. When we don't understand what the imagery of a passage of scripture is revealing, we must search for the past promises in the word of God. By using this three step process, we can understand what the message of Bible prophecy is for us today as we near the fulfillment of many of the promises of God. As God's servant witnesses, I invite you to open your Bible and your mind as we journey through the maze of Biblical prophecies and discover how they relate to us in these turbulent times.
