  • Love the Spiral!!!
I absolutely love this book! It’s not only great for me, but it’s an absolutely fantastic resource to really get my trumpet students into playing with good lyrical studies as well as great duets to practice intonation. 10/10 :)

  • Amazing! This was updated since the last time I purchased it and it's outstanding!
I bought this same book in high school (2001-2004) and I really loved it then. A lot of our state competition audition pieces came from this book. I haven't kept up with my trumpet chops a lot and have been trying to get back into the swing of things. This updated version (I bought the spiral bound and it's totally worth it) has links to their website where you can download the backing tracks to a lot of the pieces. It has been so much fun dusting off the cobwebs of my trumpet chops and has made me remember why I fell in love with this instrument so many years ago. ... show more

  • Fast shipping, accurate product description!
Received this product in record time consider that this was during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The book I received is wire-bound versus the stated spiral-bound. Which is what I prefer anyhow. All the pages are there, unlike some reviews on other books were there were complaints about the book being incomplete. The printing is sharp and clear, easy to read. There is even a download link provided for the mp3 and pdf files. I do agree with others that the cover could be plastic, with this type of binding the covers will not last with handling over time. Not a big problem for me, I can laminate the covers and punch new holes in the laminate, I have the machine to do this. This type of binding is a must for this kind of book. This will lay flat on a music stand. Buy this product you will not regret it if you are looking for an Arban's. And the seller, Imagine This Music was a joy to deal with. ... show more

  • Well made
I just received this and it arrived in excellent condition. It was well packaged, arrived about a week earlier than estimated and is obviously brand new. It is spiral bound and the plastic coil is heavy duty and should last a long time. As others have noted, the covers are heavy paper. I don’t know how long they will survive repeated opening and closing. With reasonable care the book should last a long time. The printing is very sharp, crisp and easy to read. The book easily lays flat but will need a stand that can hold a book that is just over an inch thick. Inside the front cover is a link to the website and a code where you can download the PDF and MP3 files. ... show more

  • Technical Exercises for All (Most) Trumpet/Cornet Players
A nice spiral-bound, clearly-printed, with helpful introductory notes by modern instructors. Arban's Method was one of the first ever published, and it's still a favorite. The exercises are incremental, classically-based. There's quite a range of topics, covering many aspects of playing. Other references are more concise, targeting specialist techniques; but Arban's is more comprehensive on the fundamentals. There are many practice books for trumpet now available; but Arban's, Pares Scales, Charles Colin Lip Flexibilities are good for fundamentals; while books like Baker Cycles, Baker Bebop, Walt Weiskopf's Around the Horn and Emile DeCosme's Polytonal offer relevant challenges for the jazz player. ... show more

  • Delivery was a day earlier than anticipated.
This book opens flat to make its use for music practice easier.

  • Great Content - Needs a Sturdier Cover
The books is great. The Spiral binding is great. Would be 5 star if the cover was plastic. After just a few months of use the back and front covers have been ripped off. This books gets moved around a lot. A better cover is warranted.

  • The BEST!
The book itself spreads flat on the music stand, which was a problem in earlier editions. The method book itself progresses from very simple to impossibly difficult and along the way, if you work them hard, you become a very good trumpet player. Harry James, who coauthored with his father a trumpet method book in 1941, always said this is the best trumpet book ever written. That's got to be the highest praise a trumpet book can get. ... show more
