The popularity of different trumpet method books surely varies around the world (and my bias is American), but the list below represents a small set of very well known method books, along with links to purchase.

Complete Conservatory Method

Click To Order

Arban’s Complete Conservatory Method – While not the best book for beginners, I get enough inquiries about this one to include it. This book covers tonguing (single, double, triple), slurs, technical fingering, and lyrical studies. Almost all intermediate players – and I’d venture ALL advanced – work from this book. After you’ve mastered an intermediate method book (i.e., Rubank), get this one. It’ll last you a lifetime.
