John Coltrane’s jazz composition, Giant Steps, is regarded as one of the most difficult songs for improvisation.  This is especially true for trumpet players because of the inherent limitations of their instrument.  Trane for Trumpet is a highly structured approach to help trumpeters achieve this pinnacle goal.  If you desire to play Giant Steps as a jazz soloist, Trane for Trumpet promises guaranteed success.

 

Using a progressive system of 79 exercises and jazz etudes, Trane for Trumpet will help you become more accustomed to the key center shifts in a way which is more idiomatic to your instrument than other existing literature.  ALL other literature written to help students learn Giant Steps is written for the saxophone. Trane for Trumpet is specifically written for trumpet, by a trumpet player, and covers the full trumpet range while approaching the harmonies in a more trumpet-friendly style.

 

Trane for Trumpet is spiral-bound for easy reading and comfortable use on a music stand.
