Technical Drills and Duets for the Jazz/Commercial Trumpet Player
Kendo
r Publishing originally published Technical Drills for the Jazz/Commercial Trumpet Player, and Studio P/R originally published the Jazz Duets for All Treble Clef Instruments. These early editions have been out of print for several years, and I have received many inquiries regarding these books. So I am offering them now as a compilation of both the drills and the duets together.

The Fundamental Trumpet
This is a collection of exercises for trumpet study which
I have developed over my 37-year career as trumpet professor at Millikin University. Herein lies a treasure trove of material for the developing trumpeter. 
​
What people are saying about The Fundamental Trumpet ...

"... a wonderful addition to the repertoire for developing brass fundamentals ... gives clear, concise advice to trumpet players of all ages.  The Fundamental Trumpet is logically organized, with exercises designed to address specific common problems with the developing trumpeter.  I especially appreciate that a book about trumpet fundamentals includes exercises and concepts for beginning jazz improvisers!  Yes!  I recommend this text for a student or teacher at any level, and plan to use many of the ideas and exercises in this book with my own students.
Dr. Andrew Cheatham, Assistant Prof of Trumpet, Texas State University

"I appreciated the wisdom of a teacher with close to four decades of experience in training developing trumpet students.   The author’s collection of exercises covers a wide range of needs and styles and would be helpful and beneficial to a variety of age groups.  Reyman’s introductory narrative encouraging us to find our own balance on this journey of discovery is right on the mark.  Enjoy this book and share it with others!
Dr. Bruce Briney, Professor of Trumpet, Western Illinois University
