Trumpet Book Is Very Comprehensive (5 stars)
By Donald G. Young "Don Young" (Cranford, NJ USA)
This book is the most thorough treatment of the various aspects of trumpet playing that I have seen. Very informative and helpful. Even my current teacher, who has played with the Metropolitan Opera (NYC), was impressed.

Great for Beginner or Experienced (5 stars)
By Stephen T. Terhune (Arnold, md USA)
This book is not only enjoyable and info-packed it will remain in my music library as a great reference book. I have been buying a lot of trumpet books lately and, thanks to Amazon reviews, have been very fortunate in my selections.
This one,though, is a standout. One of the threads through a number of the books I have read is that,as in this book, the writer really projects a love for the instrument.
