The renowned author and pioneering teacher (the first lecturer for any historical brass instrument at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis) has collected and condensed his long teaching experience into the present three volumes. Though intended chiefly for players of baroque and natural trumpets, the study of these volumes should also be obligatory for players of modern valve trumpets in order to perform baroque music in an informed way. A wide selection of exercises and pieces from the repertoire has been arranged into a systemmatic tutor with solutions for all technical and musical problems and with special attention to ensemble playing.
Edward H. Tarr is a pioneer in the reintro - duction of historical brass instruments, and has made countless recordings on natural trumpet, low F trumpet, and cornett, whilst not neglect ing the modern instrument. He has toured all over the world, has been adviser to several musical instrument manufacturers, and has produced scholarly editions of many important trumpet concerti as well as a book, The Trumpet, published in German by Schott (ED 8871). His activities in the world of musical education include teaching historical trumpet at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and modern trumpet at the Basel Conservatory, as well as guest professor ships and master classes in places like Stockholm, Oslo, Copen hagen, Helsinki, Cracow, Moscow, Mel bourne, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Tallahassee, Messina, Lyons, Lucerne, and Vaduz.
