Music Resources for Young Trumpeters
For students who are working on their first or second concert solos, the works by VanderCook or Forrest Buchtel have proven to be very successful and educational. There are a few series of solos, including "Trumpet Stars" (with names like Arcturus, Vega, and Lyra) and "Flowers" (Tulip, Marigold, or Daisies). These are all graded 1 - 3, with 3 being the hardest. Each songs has contrasting slow and fast sections and are about 2 minutes long.
Other "young artist" solos include:
- Air for Cornet - Vincent
- Andante & Allegro - Mirante
- Arietta & Allegro - Mozart/Powell
- Brattleboro Anthem - Niehaus
- Bright Star - Mesang
- Dancer - Andresen
- Evening in the Country - Bartok/Harris
- Invocation - Dhossche
