Upgrade your practice routine and teaching studio with these gig-tested trumpet duets.
If you play or teach trumpet, you know the struggle of finding fresh, engaging material for lessons or section warm-ups. You need a reliable book of duets that actually pushes your chops while keeping the session enjoyable.
I originally composed these duets while studying at USC in Los Angeles, building them around three strict rules: they must be fun to perform, they must be challenging, and both parts must switch off having the melody. I wrote them in styles that are highly idiomatic to the trumpet, testing them rigorously with my own quintet mate.
These charts go beyond basic sight-reading exercises. They are specifically designed to help players develop a sense of connection and communication through music. When reading through these, the role of each player seamlessly changes from solo to accompaniment, mirroring what it feels like to play in an orchestra.
The 10 Original Duets Included:
Romantic Rhapshody
March Forth
Phrygian Phyght
The Funfare
Brasiliera
