Simple Studies for Beginner Brass is a comprehensive course for the early stages of brass instrument playing. The 38 short studies are arranged progressively, and each one poses a fresh technical challenge. The collection as a whole covers the entire spectrum of basic technique, coupled with a great deal of musical interest. An appendix contains a selection of scales and arpeggios. This book is suitable for any brass player who reads from the treble clef – that is, for players of trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, French horn, tenor horn, trombone, baritone, euphonium and bass. It is followed by Progressive Brass Studies (also available from Waltons).
