Jeff Rollins-Should I Play the Trumpet?

Should I Play the Trumpet?
James Phillpotts


Following other books in the “Should I Play” series, this book goes very deep into the trumpet. It introduces how to produce sound on the instrument, as well as show famous performers and uses for the instrument. The trumpet is one of the most well known instruments, and has many different styles it can be employed in. This book introduces these genres such as marching music, jazz, classical, rock bands, mariachi music, and the historical performance practices. This book is a good way for non-trumpet players to learn more about the trumpet, as well as being at a reading level that someone in the fourth grade could easily read it well. I would have my students who wanted to play the trumpet, as well as those who wanted to learn a little bit more about the trumpet read this book to expand their knowledge on this instrument.
