This package includes two natural trumpets and the draft print version of the The Natural Trumpet Tutor, providing everything needed for trumpet teachers and their students to play together in lessons.
Students simply use their own mouthpiece while exploring the natural trumpet with their teachers.
A realistic first goal for the developing trumpeter is to learn the second parts from F.G.A. Dauverné's "Six Easy Duets" (see music and video below). The Natural Trumpet Tutor includes many duets like this with exercises and etudes that will challenge students at any level.
In the words of François Georges Auguste Dauverné, teacher of Jean-Baptiste Arban at the Paris Conservatory:
“It is impossible to become a skillful trumpeter, in any style, if one does not begin with a complete study of the natural trumpet.”
Play a duet with historic trumpet specialist Julian Zimermann! (click here for his website)
The Natural Trumpet Tutor draws from 19th century instructional material and music that is accessible for developing trumpeters. It is not geared towards learning how to play Baroque high-trumpet repertoire.
