It offers a detailed set of daily practice routines, each consisting of four separate exercises, which get progressively more challenging across a set of 8 worksheets, designed to be played from the very beginning of your learning journey, across at least the first 8 weeks. If you follow this course with care and patience you will develop excellent technique in key playing areas, that will set you up for a life of playing.Playing a brass instrument such as a trumpet or cornet is a very physical process. In the early 20th Century great academics and players such as H.L Clarke and Claude Gordon understood the importance of working various key physical elements of playing, regularly, in order to build strength and maintain stamina. These fundamentals have flooded the market with many great methods and tuition guides that have integrated the ideas into their publications. However, the vast majority of these books are over complicated to the complete beginner, which is a problem because the complete beginner needs this information more than anyone else!

Trumpet Gym was created to address this shortfall.
