Practical Studies for Cornet and Trumpet, Bk 2

I have played brass instruments for close to 40 years; Professionally as well. I am still a performing musician. I currently teach elementary, junior high and high school level children. I will say that I have 'tried', with much less success, to use other products. However, while there may be other methods / mediums that I choose to ADD to planned courses (which must be specific / unique to a student's abilities), I have never strayed away from using the HL products -- I've found them totally appropriate for all skill levels.The Hal Leonard products cannot be beat. Many (most) public school systems across the United States and Canada have standardized on the HL product line. The HL Essentials series is also very affordable and readily available. While not absolutely necessary, the play-along CD's / DVD's are a bonus.For my courses I use the following:-- Arban's (the trumpeter's Bible).-- Practical Studies for Coronet or Trumpet, books one and two by Robert W. Getchell (Belwin).-- The Hal Leonard Essential Elements 2000 series, books one, two and three.-- The Hal Leonard Essential Elements for Jazz Ensemble (a comprehensive method for jazz style and improvisation).This product is very reasonably priced and produced by a well-known company that continuously upgrades their products. IMHO these are the ONLY tools necessary to teach and learn at ANY level. I even return to them myself from time to time.

After a 30 year break from playing trumpet I am relearning what I lost. I purchased this book as a follow up to the "First Book of Practical Studies for Coronet and Trumpet" but I am still working in the first book. The second book looks like a challenging progression from the first and I look forward to getting to it in due time. I am enjoying the challenges in the first book and will enjoy this one when I get to it. I am enjoying the Practical Studies books but there is no music theory in them, just scales to practice. I am learning fine from my past experience in the first book but a music teacher to coach me along will be a great compliment to the second book. A nicely done series of books.

Came on time and will be a great book for advancing my trumpet students.

Great teaching tool for music instructors. The melodies in book 2 are just challenging enough that high school students can use them for sight-reading practice. Not predictable, lots of ties and articulations that challenge students to really think about what they are doing. The range is not excessive so students can practice sight-reading without taxing their endurance. I love the Hovey/Getchell books.

My Lesson Teacher asked me to get this and it was a pretty good book

This book is the second in the series and an excellent continuation of good practice pieces for learning.

Good exercises, there aren't any "lessons" though, as there isn't any writing throughout the book. It's more self-help than teaching.

Great book of melodies and harmonies for the intermediate musician and fun for more advance to play. Seems like in each exercise there is one place that will trip you up with an unexpected rhythm.

This is an excellent book with short very useful studies to help you progress but the copy I received had blurred printing on quite a few pages.

Tengo el primer libro de esta serie y éste es la continuación en cuanto a dificultad técnica.Lo recomiendo para aquellas personas que lleven al menos 3-4 años estudiando la trompeta.Ejercicios progresivos, relativamente cortos y que trabajan muchos aspectos técnicos y expresivos

Diese Trompetenschule kann ich weiter emfehlen. Diese fängt mit leichten Übungen an und steigert sich dann nach und nach. Immer wieder gern.

It was in pretty good shpe for a used item.It sure was different from the regular run of the mill music publications!
