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.
