One of the most widely used series of methods for individual or like-instrument class instruction. Using a very well-rounded approach including scales, arpeggios, technical studies, studies for musicianship, articulation studies, solos, duets, and studies devoted to the special needs of each instrument, this series provides a fantastic wealth of material for all student musicians.

A complete pedagogical method for students of trumpet and cornet, this "brass bible" contains hundreds of exercises from basics to advanced. Includes the author's famous arrangement of Carnival in Venice.

A collection of technical studies designed for use with either full band or individual practice. The method is divided into eight units, each focusing on a major key and its relative minor key and includes such studies as chorales, scale studies, arpeggio studies, interval studies, rhythm rounds, articulation studies, speed drills and etudes to help reinforce new concepts. An excellent way to prepare students for advanced grade III and most grade IV material.

Keith Johnson retired in 2014 from the University of North Texas, where he was Regents Professor of Trumpet and was honored with the Distinguished Teaching Professor award. Acclaimed for his pedagogy, Johnson wrote more than thirty articles, two pedagogical texts, and two method books. During his career, he presented masterclasses at universities and conservatories throughout the United States, as well as in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa. Johnson’s former students hold positions in universities, orchestras, and military ensembles in over a dozen countries. He would modestly say, “I just pick the right people and they make me look good,” but his students tell a different story. In The Art of Trumpet Teaching, Johnson’s former students from his early years at the University of Northern Iowa to his last student after retirement from the University of North Texas describe his teaching approach and tireless work to help each person succeed. These stories also highlight the warm and humorous side of his nature and provide an insight into what Johnson called “the art of teaching.” Along with Johnson’s biography and studio stories, Leigh Anne Hunsaker presents an extensive collection of pedagogical concepts from Johnson’s six decades of teaching. Also included are some of his later expositions on the value of music in education, motivation, and the idea of “music as metaphor.” Johnson’s hallmark pedagogical tenets, along with much practical advice given to his UNT students, provide a teaching and reference handbook for a new generation of teachers and players.

"Advanced Recorder Technique" is intended for advanced players of the alto recorder who are seeking rigorous practise material for developing their instrumental and musical skills. The aim is that within the purely technical material the player will be able to discover and transform the musical parameters of sound, movement, tension/relaxation, and from that learn to deal musically with the individual technical elements (scales, arpeggios, trills etc.). In accordance with the requirements of the recorder's original literature the exercises are intended mainly for the alto recorder. However, numerous recent arrangements of early baroque violin music for soprano recorder, which have become an established part of the repertoire, have necessitated the serious treatment of this instrument, too. A number of the chapters can therefore be played not only on the alto but transposed for the soprano recorder as well. The term "technique" should not be misunderstood: the objectives of the exercises are musical expression, inspiration, emotion and creative note-shaping. This two-volume method deals with four aspects of recorder playing: finger and tonguing technique as well as breathing and sound production.

Finally, a trumpet book with appeal to kids that focuses on fundamentals taught through songs that young people love to play. Author Larry E. Newman (Beginning Band Fun Book series) created this book to be used as a first year beginning method or as a second year review and continuing book for the progressing intermediate student. The book is crammed with tons of musical examples, scales, arpeggios, songs, solos, duets and trios. Mix and match the trumpet book with other instrument books in this collection to create customized woodwind and brass groups.
