how to play cornet and trumpet

Trumpet and cornet technique probles cured.

Raspy trumpet tone? Poor pp?

Bram Wiggins shows you how to develop a good trumpet embouchure from the start.  He covers essential basic techniques in detail, yet without masses of technical jargon.
Trumpet and Cornet Technique DoctorBram's Cornet & Trumpet Technique Doctor will help you to correct those niggling little problems and set you on the right path to successful playing.
Problems covered are:
1.  I can't get a clear sound.  My notes sound 'woolly'.
2.  Why are the first and third valve slides mobile?
3.  I can't play slurred passages smoothly. (Click on picture)

I can't play slurred passages smoothly.

4.  I can't get the higher notes.
5.  I'm not sure that I am pitching the notes correctly.  Am I tone deaf?
6.  I can't get the low notes.

7.  I slow music down to get the notes right, but when I speed it up it still sounds wrong.  What am I doing wrong?
8.  When I try to play softly, the note just disappears into a hiss before it is quiet enough.  Why?
9.  My loudest notes sound harsh and very brassy.  What am I doing wrong?
As you can see from the illustrations, not only is the book is written in a no nonsense style, it is small enough to slip easily into your pocket, purse or trumpet case.
