Sparke, Philip: Starter Studies for Trumpet, Cornet or Flugel Horn (Book & CD)

Philip Sparke’s STARTER STUDIES is the first volume of a progressive series of study books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician.

The early stages of learning any instrument are undoubtedly the most important. A good teacher is of course essential but it is also vital to have stimulating study material, which complements your choice of teaching method, and is carefully tailored to introduce learning and playing skills in a structured manner.

Specifically tailored for each instrument, this collection of 65 studies offers a choice of starting note to suit individual tastes and carefully introduces new musical elements, such as articulation, dynamics and key signatures, in a structured progression to speed the learning process.

The following titles in the series are SKILFUL STUDIES and SUPER STUDIES.
