Trumpet Stars: Set 1 : a Collection of Trumpet Solos With Piano Accompaniment

Trumpet Stars Set 1 is created for beginner and early-intermediate trumpet students, teachers, and developing musicians seeking expressive, contest-approved solos. Ideal for school lessons, private study, recitals, and home practice, this collection supports young brass players as they build confidence and learn foundational solo skills.

This set includes six graded solos arranged by H. A. VanderCook, written specifically for players at levels 12. Each book contains the complete trumpet solo part, a coordinated piano accompaniment score, and a demonstration CD featuring full-performance recordings and accompaniment-only tracks for each selection. These tools provide clear musical models, encourage independent practice, and help students prepare effectively for festivals and evaluations.

The carefully structured pieces allow players to strengthen tone, articulation, breath support, and phrasing while exploring lyrical and energetic musical styles. Teachers appreciate the clear progression of difficulty, making this a valuable studio resource that aligns with many state contest lists. Students benefit from accessible melodies that motivate consistent practice and support technical growth.
