A comprehensive trumpet method, from fundamentals to advanced studies

Arban’s method is organized as a broad course in brass playing, with hundreds of exercises that move from basic material toward advanced compositions. Its instruction addresses articulation, tonguing, slurs, tone, and range, giving the book a practical emphasis on the technical challenges of performance. The 1912 edition is reproduced here in unabridged form, and the collection includes Arban’s arrangement of “The Carnival in Venice.” Though centered on trumpet, the description also identifies it as a resource for French horn and cornet players.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Trumpet players seeking a structured method spanning fundamentals and advanced exercises
  • French horn and cornet players interested in a classic brass-instrument method
  • Students and experienced players working on articulation, tone, slurs, tonguing, or range
