Launch Pad for Trumpet: Blast Off! Tone and Technique by Cindy Gould is appropriate for beginning trumpet players.
Launch Pad for Trumpet: Blast Off! Tone and Technique encourages healthy fundamentals from the very first day of playing. Designed to develop trumpet skills in fun and practical ways, there are nine sections devoted to various trumpet skills, goals at the beginning of each section, and tips scattered throughout. Written in a style appealing to youngsters, this book is the perfect complement to traditional band methods.
"In 'Launch Pad,' Ms. Gould has presented us with a well thought out, organized plan to assist the beginning trumpet player in the development of the basic skills so necessary in becoming a solid performer. Not to be overlooked in this book are the tips and admonitions so beneficial in helping the student achieve a good balance of all elements—a balance that will lead to slow, steady progress. I believe the exercises in this book provide the beginning trumpeter with solid building blocks to develop a fundamentally sound approach to trumpet playing." - Marie Speziale, Associate Principal Trumpet, Cincinnati Symphony (retired)
