10 Week Beginner-Intermediate Upper Register High Range Course for Trumpet and all Brass Players

If you make a special request, I can transfer the entire course onto DVDs and mail them to you priority mail in the U.S.A. These won't be fancy dvd's with pretty designs and text...just simple good quality dvd's that will make it possible not to have to mess around with computers and internet. Also, see the optional payment by mail if you don't like having your credit cards all over the internet. So, essentially, you can do it all by mail and even do your course without turning on your computer if you so desire! FEE: $75

This version is easier and less aggressive than my 16 week upper register course. Don't let the beginner-intermediate title throw you. If you are a typical amateur, hobby, adult trumpet or brass musician, then likely this course is right up your alley.

Why?

...because you may not have a burning desire to gain 4 or 5 notes in range, work hard for 4 months and of course spend more money. My 16 week course is the Holy Grail and for many good reasons: YOU WORK HARD AND GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Payment Can Be Sent Via Priority Mail Using A U.S. Postal Money Order if you prefer not using your card for this amount online. email: kurt@trumpetsizzle.com

This 10 week unleaded, diet version is easier going, but still very viable for anyone wishing to improve their chops. It is just not as ambitious as my 16 week course.

I still advise to take this course with me LIVE each week via phone or skype audio rather than just trying to do the video course alone, but..if you absolutely have no choice, you will still get great results with this course compared to studying with your local private lesson teacher.

 

 Although this Course Can Be Taken By Very Young Players or Inexperienced Adults, There Are Some Minimum Requirements:

If you are a student and under 18 years of age, you need to have had at least one year of experience in band or private lessons.

So, If you are 12 years old and in 6th grade band, but started in 5th grade, you would qualify!

OR

If you are an adult over 18 years of age, you need to have had at least 6 months of private lessons or a similar experience in a playing ensemble. 

So, If you are 38 years old and got a trumpet or other brass instrument 6 months ago and have been taking private lessons, you would qualify!

The above minimums are important because this is not a course for pure beginners who have never touched an instrument or been in band.

Some other requirements before enrolling in this 10 week upper register course:

1. Knowledge of the staff, lines and spaces, treble clef, key signature, time       signature, note values, rest values
2. Proper handling of the trumpet, trombone, or other instrument
3. Knowledge of 3 scales: C, F, G
4. Fingerings from low F# up to middle D,Eb or the equivalent on the other brass instruments
5. Minimum 30 minutes practice per day

 

I highly recommend you invest in the LIVE version with me via phone or skype audio...it's worth it!

*This course may come with several bonus videos. Feel free to watch them on your own, but if you are able to schedule a lesson with me to go over them, that is preferred. If you are taking the live course please disregard because we WILL go over them. Also, some students that elected not to invest in the live version of this course still try to get a lesson out of me for free by emailing tons of questions regarding the course and even these bonus videos - not cool! If you have questions and need answers, GET the live course or at least order a few review lessons.
