H. L. Clarke Technical Studies Book
I've played these so much, I practically have the book memorized (ok, mostly memorized - missed some of the back chapters) This is so well known and should be included in the daily exercises of the modern trumpet player. The exercises can be augmented by changing the tonguing styles, repeats and octave displacement for continued use. Perhaps one might play the entire second and fourth chapters at one practice sitting and the next day play the third and fifth chapters. As stated in previous web pages, I am left handed, and these exercises help to bring my right hand 'up to speed' and coordinated. The etudes at the end of the chapters are very nice and the more advanced etudes could be used by the high school student for college auditions.

Allen Vizzutti Trumpet Technical Studies
by Allen Vizzutti (Author) "THE PRIMARY GOAL of all trumpet players regardless of proficiency, should be to play beautiful music with an appropriately beautiful sound..." I really like this book and use it often. It has similarities to the Clarke book, but extended and then also in major, minor, harmonic and whole ton versions! (very cool) - Mr. D

Arban's The Authentic Edition (over 350 pages)
Often called by many as the 'Trumpet Bible' THIS IS the most popular trumpet book that EVERYONE owns. In fact, I'm on my second copy, (first one came apart from use). From the Scale Exercises on p. 58 to Double Tonguing on p. 175 to the First Studies on p.10 to 68 Duets and 12 Solos p.246 (make sure you learn the Carnival of Venice on p.339) everything is here! - BTW (By The Way) - most high school districts in Illinois and other states require 1 of the 14 Characteristic Studies on p. 285 for local and/or state band auditions. These are also good for the high school student to play for college auditions. The International Trumpet Guild has published a recording of these 14 Studies - INVALUABLE for the student (and pro!) Don't be swayed by the names high school or college - THIS BOOK IS FOR EVERYONE AT ALL LEVELS. It has exercises from simple to very complex FOR ALL LEVELS of Players! Best book around! - next to mine :)

Korg Tuner and Metronome
This is a great value – Korg quality and TWO needed resources (metronome and tuner) for all musicians. You should always practice with a metronome to build skill and make certain that you are in perfect time. This metronome is very flexible and can do multiple beats and patterns (see below). The tuner section has an easy to read VU meter that can be viewed at a glance for tuning. Details:  Scale: 12 note equal temperament - Detection Range: C1 to C5 - Reference Tone  - Metronome Section: Tempo Range 40 - 208 BPM - Multiple Time Signatures: beats, duplets, triplets, triplets without center beat, quadruplets, quadruplets without center beats -  2x AAA batteries - This has it all! I used to sell another model that cost $200.00 This does more, sounds better and is even less expensive :) Isn't technological progress great?!

You want to keep the flow cup in the "Best" area for maximizing your breath exercises.

5 Leg Trumpet Stand (Made in Germany)
This is another great product, pardon the pun, that ‘stands out from the rest.’ Very innovative design (with the legs stored inside the stand when closed) and most importantly, it is very stable. With the five legs spread out, it would take a lot of work to tip over your trumpet (other three leg stands are not as stable as this one). The whole stand can fit in the bell for storage! NO EXTRA STORAGE SPACE NEEDED. – Give the five leg trumpet stand, another thumbs up, great design, storage, and safety.

Brace Guard
My students have successfully used these. They are flatter than others and 'mold' to each individual. Watch, Be Careful so that you try to keep a 'trumpet embouchure'. There is a tendency to change the form of the lips. Do not let that happen. The quick, dependable and reusable orthodontic shield that provides lip protection for musicians and all brace patients. Protects lips from cuts and irritation caused by dental appliances or sharp, irregular teeth. Enables an individual to devise personalized protection without professional assistance.

Yamaha 14B4 Trumpet Mouthpiece
This is a great everyday mouthpiece that you would use for 60-80% of your playing. It has a nice tone, the flatter cushion rim (size ‘4’), combined with the medium smaller cup (size ‘B’) allow versatility between the octaves without sacrificing sound on the low notes. Nice flexibility capability. This might be your end-all mouthpiece, or at least a nice place to start your exploration.

Bobby Shew Lead Trumpet Mouthpiece
Bobby Shew is one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. Equally at home in a variety of genres, he has played a powerful lead in many of the world's top bands, but is equally revered for his expressive solos. This mouthpiece gives that extra sizzle and high note clarity for playing lead parts. It features enough air compression for high range playing, but still allows a big open sound. Characteristics: Inner Diameter 16.54mm - Semi Round Rim - Shallow Cup - Throat 3.65mm and Narrow backbore. Bobby is a great guy and I got to meet him in Chicago at one of 'Tooth's (Frank Mantooth) recording sessions. Great player - great mouthpiece. This is also a fine mouthpiece for 2nd part player in a jazz/rock group.

Schilke 12a4a is another favorite of mine - went through college jazz band and into the rock band with this one. it is a little smaller than the 14a4a listed below. This is a standard mouthpiece to explore stage work, lead playing, rock music, pop or jazz band or any kind of music where you want the trumpet to ‘cut’ through a group. It has a VERY bright sound and is designed to play in the upper register. The smallest size cup (size ‘a’) makes playing in the upper register much easier, it has the nice cushion rim for the lips (size ‘4’) and the smaller ‘tight’ (size ‘a’) backbore will give you that extra push needed for the upper register. This is also a fine mouthpiece for 2nd part player in a jazz/rock group

Schilke 17D4 - BIG Sound - Trumpet Mouthpiece
I really like this mouthpiece. When you need to play a controlled - loud - forceful - (but not blasting tone) this is for you. This can also be played delicately as the air stream is 'forgiving' This is a little bigger mouthpiece, and a bigger cup size 'D' You might find use for this mouthpiece in a church, or in an orchestra - but don't let the musical choice sway you from using this one. I should of course mention - it has my favorite '4' semi round - cushion flatter rim ;)

ALLEN VIZZUTTI
Mr. Vizzutti is one of the most amazing trumpet soloists of our time. Equally at home in a multitude of musical idioms, he has traveled the world performing with a rainbow of artists and ensembles, ranging from Chick Corea to the Royal Philharmonic. In addition, for many years he was one of Hollywood's leading studio artists; he can be heard on more than 100 movie soundtracks. His extended playing range and incredible technique require a perfectly balanced mouthpiece. The Vizzutti mouthpiece offers a warm focused sound, accurate and centered intonation, and incredible flexibility. This is a PRO level mouthpiece. I really like this one. It is one of my favorites. Mr. Vizzutti is known for his amazing technical abilities (see his book above). He clearly practices in a methodical fashion with goals and benchmarks that he sets for himself. This is a good idea for anyone!
