Trumpet Sight-Reading Made Easy for B-flat Trumpet & Cornet Players (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781918219746)

If you've been struggling to recognise the notes fast enough when reading music (or don't know how to read music at all), and/or you struggle to remember the fingering for the different notes, then Trumpet Mnemonics is the series for you. Perhaps you're just starting out and want to fast-trek your progress. This book is also for you.

No knowledge of music theory is required. This works for adults and kids alike from complete beginners onwards.

You'll not only learn to instantly recognise notes on sheet music, so will be able to play faster, but instantly know where on the trumpet or cornet any note is. With dozens of bespoke mnemonics specific for the trumpet and cornet, this system is revolutionary.

Each note (A, B etc) is called its own unique and memorable name (e.g. Boxer) and assigned a colour to match its name e.g. Blue for B. A high B and a low B will have a different name. So across your instrument's range, you will have each B illustrated and mapped out from low to high: Bones, Boxer, Bee.. This also helps with ear-training and pitch recognition across octaves.

I've given mnemonics to instantly recognise any trumpet or cornet note (including sharps and flats) on sheet music in the companion book in this series. The fingering mnemonics of every note on your trumpet are in THIS book.

You will soon know these notes without even blinking. It will be instant recall: the stuff that normally takes many, many months of practise for a musician to achieve can be fast-tracked. to days

For less than the price of many black and white fingering charts, you're getting a 79 -page full colour music-sheet sized book which is mnemonically colour-coded and has its own cartoon note heroes.

I know from experience as a music teacher that this system works for kids and adults alike and it works FAST. It helps with fingering and sight-reading, and ear-training. It helps make people not just players but musicians faster.
