Learn your scales with the help of 53 well know tunes - suitable for ANY Treble Clef Brass Band instrument.
Each page in the first part of this book starts with a scale and its arpeggio. The rest of the page is full of tunes that use that scale and arpeggio. As you play the tunes, you will find out why learning scales and arpeggios can help to make you a better player. If you have’nt guessed already, this is because most tunes are made up of little more than parts of scales and arpeggios. Some of these have been marked with an * Try and spot the others.
The Scales :
C Major one octave A Minor one octave Bb Major one octave D Major one octave D Minor one octave Eb Major one octave E Major one octave A Major a twelfth C Minor one octave E Minor one octave Chromatic one octave WholeTone one octave
The FACTS ! It is guaranteed, written in stone, as certain as night follows day, that you will be asked to play scales in your exam. The examiner wont forget. wont be kind and just let you off, wont fall asleep, wont take a bribe, wont have a cup of tea instead or take pity on you if your valves miraculously stick or the bell falls off — so learn your scales.
The BENEFITS :
You may be learning scales just because you are going to take an exam, Fair enough but at the same time your tone and tuning will improve.
Your sight-reading skills will improve as you learn to spot bits of scales and arpeggios in the pieces that you play and to recognise key signatures.
You will develop a really good finger technique. You won’t worry about using your 2nd. and 3rd. fingers when necessary. And let’s not forget the exam, because if you know your scales really well — You will definitely get a much better mark than if you don’t. You will enter the exam much more confidently — you don’t want to be dreading the moment when you are asked to perform A Major.

This one book is suitable for any Bb. or Eb instrument in treble clef.
These studies were written to provide a series of graded pieces that would be challenging, but interesting and musically satisfying to play.. The pieces were not written in any particular order, but were collated and graded according to the resulting standard that emerged from each piece as it was written. Some editing was necessary to ensure that the correct levels of difficulty were maintained.
"... collated in order of difficulty, starting from a grade 4 standard and rising to about grade 6. The studies fit well under the fingers and useful scale passages are covered during the playing. The studies are enjoyable to play and pupils will feel safe and comfortable modulating through to the related keys used in these compositions. The studies, simply numbered 1 - 20, will be of great benefit to the developing trumpet player." Reviewed 'Music Teacher'

For nearly 150 years Jean—Baptiste Arban’s 1 14 studies have been an essential part of a brass players practice routine. Arban’s original parts contain many inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Whilst we had no intention of creating an ‘Urtext’ edition, we have attempted to make each study’s phrasing, articulation and where necessary, dynamics consistent with itself, without losing the character and intentions of Arban’s manuscript. We, therefore, chose not to add dynamics at the beginning of studies where Arban has omitted them, as you will quickly discover the right dynamic (for you) on practising the piece. You may also, as performer, wish to change or ignore our suggestions, for that is what they are and you must feel free to do so.
This edition includes imaginative piano accompaniments written to reflect the nature of the solo part and enhance the soloist’s practice whilst lending these studies also to the concert repertoire. Our hope is that you will gain more from playing these great studies ‘with accompaniment’ rather than the traditional way "without".
The CD that accompanies this edition contains I John Alley’s accompaniments in three tempi. One for slow practice, one for general performance and then one for the virtuoso! Also included are stylish performances of all 14 studies by leading UK trumpeter Paul Mayes. In order to produce an artistically cohesive CD his performances are a mix of the two featured performance tempi.
