My name is Ralph Davella, A lifetime Carmine Caruso trumpet student.The foundation of this book is based on the years of lessons I had with the legendary teacher Carmine Caruso.This complete beginner method book is about learning music, combined with developing the skills that it takes to apply the music to the trumpet. The exercises in this book lays the foundation for building a good embouchure. Meaning, the way a player applies their mouth to the mouthpiece of a brass instrument. This book contains the exercises needed for developing the skills of the young trumpet player. Each exercise is explained in detail. Songs are also included in this book for the enjoyment and musical development of the young musician. A glossary of terms is included in the back of the book.Carmine taught at his studio on West 64th. Street in New York City. After my lessons Carmine would allow me to stayand watch him teach the young student players all the way up to the most accomplished professionals.An annual event in Manhattan was the international brass conference. Renowned brass players from all around the world would fly in for this event. Many of these players would schedule a lesson with Carmine Caruso months ahead of time. Some of these great musicians were having trouble with their embouchure for various reasons. I watched him calmly have a conversation with these players. Carmine would give them a simple exercise and explain to them how to play the exercise. I would see these players come back into the studio and say, not only did Carmine fix their problem, but they were playing as if they never had a problem at all. Studies in this book such as, The Six Notes, The Lip Buzz and The Mouthpiece Buzz along with such musical studies as the Chromatics and Developing Scale will bring you similar positive results.The lessons in this book are designed to take the beginner trumpet student from the warm up through the rest of the lesson in a timely fashion.
