Canadian Brass Book of Intermediate Trumpet Solos: Trumpet and Piano with Online Audio

Canadian Brass Book of Intermediate Trumpet Solos: Trumpet and Piano with Online Audio brings together twelve works arranged for solo trumpet with piano accompaniment. Created for medium-difficulty trumpet players, teachers, and performers, it presents classical, Baroque, and 20th-century repertoire supported by professionally recorded reference material. The trumpet parts were edited and recorded by Canadian Brass virtuosos Fred Mills and Ronald Romm, with piano parts recorded by Bill Casey and arrangements by Bill Boyd.

The book includes a printed solo trumpet part, piano accompaniment, introductory text, and access to online audio through the unique code supplied inside each copy. The audio offers full performances and accompaniments that can be streamed or downloaded, giving players a practical way to hear the complete musical setting and rehearse with the piano part away from a live accompanist. PLAYBACK+ features allow users to slow the audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan audio left or right.

Working with both the written music and recorded performances can support focused practice, phrasing, tempo control, musical expression, and awareness of how the trumpet line interacts with the accompaniment. The varied repertoire provides contrasting melodic and stylistic material for lessons, individual practice, rehearsal, and performance while preserving the character of each selection.
