Leading Twin Cities trumpet pedagogue David Baldwin, a prominent member of the International Trumpet Guild, has created a book of etudes packed full of exercises for building endurance and strengthening the embouchure. Playing with musicality while maintaining the strength to do so is a vital aspect of trumpet technique, and has yet to be addressed fully in method-book form until now. Lips of Steel is sure to become an essential part of the trumpet player’s curriculum. For intermediate students. See more...

The R. Bernard Fitzgerald Trumpet Collection R. Bernard Fitzgerald Book and CD Trumpet and Piano
From Cuban composer Tania León, we have an exciting work for brass quintet, named for a traditional mixed drink on the island of Cuba, consisting of rum or aguardiente with coconut water. It can also be defined as “a musical work in which grooves emerge like the brief patterns formed when stirring a drink. As the sonic concoction swirls towards its conclusion, the players let out a ‘saoko!’ celebratory toast.”
