Thanks for the above video. I have had the Arbans book for more than 20 years but was nit sure how to use it correctly. What you shared provided a road map and the exciting thing is that it keeps me focused and prepares me to play. Everything works well. I am only into like for of the pages you gave and with around two of the exercises on each page but its great. Two of my trumpet teachers earlier reccomended this book but now in my 60s I practice and train on my own so your guide has helped a lot. God bless you for sharing your skill
I'm glad you're finding success using this method. It's a great system. Feel free to reach out to me anytime and check out my academy at www.mikerochamusic.com/the-mike-rocha-music-academy
Mike. My first tutor Harry Letham (Principal trumpeter Ted Heath Joe Loss Big Bands) taught me in 1962 using the Arbans (cost me 4$ hard back) So your instruction took me back some over 60 years. Harry went to Paris to buy a Selmer trumpet from the factory £85!!. He was a great guy. Your instructions are 5star thanks DT
@@davidthomson7815 Thank you, David! I strive to be an adept teacher. Since the bulk of my life has been focused on my performance career I find it refreshing to be helping others discover and achieve their goals. The Arban’s method is still one of the very best!
Thanks, useful video. I’m a comeback player with my copy being from 1970’s. Whilst I agree that musicians need to read more also think that trumpet cornet players need to be able to not read. The usual teaching at least in my experience seems to avoid this skill which is a great pity.
Well said. Sight reading and reading in general is greatly overlooked in the pursuit of trophies. Administrators, who control teachers' budgets, understand trophies.
