I got a used trumpet and the Pearson Standard of Excellence books with cd's and taught myself. After about a year I saw a recommendation for the Getchell Book and purchased it. I haven't touched the Pearson books since. I found the exercises and songs in those books dull and annoying. The studies in the Getchell book are interesting and melodic.The studies in this Getchell book start out simple but help develop technique and endurance and get progressively more challenging. I found a youtube channel that I can listen to the studies and play along. If you are just starting trumpet and taking lessons I highly recommend adding this book to your studies. I studied clarinet as a child and knew how to read music so I am able (along with the youtube videos) to play the pieces in this book. If you have never studied music or played an instrument, this book does not offer any instruction on how to play. You would need some guidance with that.I recommend this book for serious beginning trumpet students of any age who want to develop their musicality. The book is designed to be used with a teacher and student but can be used alone if you have musical experience. Great book for comeback players. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Every Trumpet Student Should Own *by V***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019* The Getchell books of practical studies are one of the most singularly important trumpet books out there. I've been teaching trumpet for a very long time, used these books in my own study and find them indispensable. Book one keeps things very simple, limits the needed range so the students can focus on sound production, musicality articulation and can work on developing a sense of style and interpretation without battling the technical aspects of playing. For the intermediate and advanced players they are great books for developing transposition skills. These books aren't for raw beginners just learning note identification, values and fingerings, but are quite valueable once the student has the very basics down. They are best used with individual instruction as there are so many nuanced elements that can be gotten from the exercises. What I love about the Getchell books is that you feel like you are playing actual music rather than just doing rote exercises. If you're new to trumpet buy volume 1. If you're an intermediate player volume 2 might be best for you- but I recommend you own both. They're cheap enough that you can afford them both and I think every trumpet player should have them in their library. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I really Like this *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2010* as Amazon can verify, I bought a WHOLE bunch of trumpet books all at once.For me, this really hit a sweet spot. I am relearning the trumpet after an extended absence.I will give the ideal profile for someone to buy this. Say you have reconquered say the territory from low b flat to middle c (the one on the from the top space in treble clef) and are having a little trouble going to higher notes but want something to improve your chops while your lips redevelop. The first 17 or so etudes have as the highest note that middle C. It's perfect for me.Unlike other "Studies" or "etudes" books the studies have a GRADUAL progression in difficulty so you can be working on say 7 or so on your daily practice and when you are satisifed on the least difficult one - then drop that one and pick up a more difficult one. I am real happy on how I have progressed the last month or so and this book has a lot ot do with it. Each etude is about 24 to 30 measures long and are actually a little fun to play. It is really focused on trumpet chops. Finally by etude 18 d above middle C is introduced but again in a gradual fashion - about 5 etudes later you will put thorugh your paces on d - having to slur it with just about every note below it. This is in constrast to another book which says in essence "it's time to introduce d and e" and they jump in with full force.To me, this book really has been a key resource that I practice to every day. I cannot say enough good about it. The melodies come back to me during the day. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1263819-first-book-of-practical-studies-for-cornet-and-trumpet](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1263819-first-book-of-practical-studies-for-cornet-and-trumpet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
