Ear Training for Trumpet

Carl Fischer Publications
Foreword by David Hickman
For Trumpet in Bb

"Ear Training for Trumpet" is one of the first methods to integrate performance on the instrument with singing to enable the player to internalize the music.

Written by David Vining, a leading brass educator with extensive orchestral, chamber, and solo performance experience, "Ear Training for Trumpet" is a comprehensive and progressively organized method for improving the ear of students on any brass instrument. In turn, this brings marked improvement in tone, intonation, pitch accuracy, and musical understanding.
