Arban's Book A.K.A the Trumpet Bible

[TRtrumpet]

I just got one about 2 days ago. I heard it was a pretty good book for trumpet players. It's HUGE. So does anyone else have it or heard of it?

 

Im trying to learn the Carnival of Venice (Pg. 339)

[bluebellbrass07]

Mmmmm Arban.

 

If you do trumpet in college chances are you will probably have to learn one of the 14 characteristic studies. Fun fun fun

 

Lots of good tounging stuff in that book.

 

Good luck with Carnival of Venice!

Good luck with Carnival of Venice indeed. I don't have the patience to sit down and learn it because I really like sightreading....

 

The Arban book is REALLY good if you have the patience for it. I tried going through it once and I just lost interest. It's just so repetitive to me and my book today is nothing more than a dust collector. If I decide to be a music major (currently ranked number 5 for my top 5 career choices), however, I am sure it will wind up becoming my best friend.

Someone in my band stole it out of my locker !!!!!

[TRtrumpet]

That sucks. We have one that just stays in the bandhall... it looks like crap though. It's pretty old.

[BBTrumpet90]

I have one... i've had one since about 7th grade: it really is the trumpet bible. i've had quite a few auditions from the characteristic studies... what fun! Good luck w/ carnival... i know all of it but the last variation... too much for my patience.
