5Perfect for Beginners  May 07, 2007 By Leonard R. Wines
I hadn't played a trumpet for over sixty years. So, I didn't think I could pick up a horn and start where I left off.

Instead, I made the wise decision to purchase this package. The DVD was perfect in getting me started again.

I didn't play the CD, which follows each exercise, using a CD player. I brought the CD into iTunes, which made using it very easy. I'm now up to Track 43 and, while I still have a long way to go for an eighty-year-old, I feel I'm getting there one day at a time.

Highly recommended (and worth the small amount Amazon is asking).

5A great book  Mar 29, 2007
This book starts with the bare necessities. Every couple of lessons shows a new note and technique. It's easy to understand. The DVD that came with it shows how to hold the trumpet and what it should sound like. I learned enough that I figured out how to play other songs. I taught myself to play the Wallace and Gromit theme song.

I'm eleven years old.

5GREAT VALUE!  Jan 20, 2011 By Karen Alward
My son who is 9 is teaching himself to play the trumpet off of this book. So far, so good! Definitely impressed! The DVD isn't very long but it sets a good foundation. Supplementing the DVD and book with YouTube videos works well too.

4Fine Beginner Method  Feb 25, 2008 By James D. Cook "Cormagh"
I bought this method for my eleven year old son, who is learning trumpet as his third instrument. I like the selection of songs and the easy pace of the book. Also, the video isn't bad, but disappointing from the fact that the video and CD both primarily cover only the first few pages in the book.

4Very Simplistic  Mar 12, 2008 By James Kozak
I never considered "Gently twist the mouthpiece into the mouthpiece reciever," to be instructions for trumpet assembly before. I have been away from playing for 10 years and thought this might be a good book to help me get reaquainted with the horn. I was wrong...this book is VERY VERY simplistic.

If you are an absolute beginner, who has never even handled a trumpet and does not know anyone who plays trumpet, then get this book. If there is ANYONE that you can ask questions, who reads music or plays trumpet, then you can skip this book. Get something a little more complicated and just ask questions. If you are going to be taking lessons DEFINITELY do not buy this package. You will learn more during the first half-hour of your first lesson.
