Chromatic Exercises and Technical Studies

Issued in three volumes, this method adds to the long and distinguished line of French contributions to trumpet pedagogy.

Pierre Thibaud is one of the most respected and recognized performers and teachers in the trumpet world. He has served as principal trumpeter in the Israel Philharmonic, soloist with the Grande Républicaine band and was solo trumpeter of the Paris Opéra Orchestra for thirty years.

The aim of these extraordinary books is to guide serious students of the instrument in developing their technical facility and musicality. Subjects covered in Mr. Thibaud’s method include Pedal notes, Trills, Circular Breathing, Isotonic Exercise, Reliability and much more. Mastery of this material will prepare the player for many of the most challenging works in the modern concert and chamber music repertoires. This is an ideal set of books for serious students and teachers of the trumpet.
