"Trumpet Pedagogy" is a truly comprehensive book on the trumpet. My students have looked up everything from Bell's Palsy to valve oil and it's all there. This tome belongs in every university library as well as every trumpet studio.

"An amazing resource containing information on all of the topics I wanted to know more about but never had time to research: mouthpiece gap, instrument design and specifications, medical conditions, detailed measurements of how much temperature affects pitch, etc. There are a few books that should be included in every trumpet player's library. This is definitely one of them!"
