In spite of being an exercise piece, it has a beautiful melody. It’s also structured in a way that allows you to work on your playing technique step by step. This book has become a refreshment for me in between private practice sessions.

A really interesting set of studies setting challenges both technically and musically. I have been teaching since the mid 80s and these are a super addition to the repertoire I use.

These are exceptional! The etudes cover range, flexibility, articulation, phrasing, endurance, double and triple tonguing.
For me, these etudes provide the groundwork for improving my musicality.
Before buying the four etude package, I was thinking on purchasing one or two of the etude books to save on the cost. Instead, I finally decided to buy the entire package to get the full benefit of all four etude books.
For $49, It was worth it to get the package deal.
These 84 etudes are really super. As I practice a few each day and then record myself, I can hear the areas that need improvement.
O U T S T A N D I N G material!

A very refreshing take on trumpet etudes. The complete set is absolutely worth the price. They’re both fun to play as well as challenging.

A wonderful and interesting set of etudes.
I play tuba, and have played Arban, Clarke and others to death since I began playing in the mid-1980s! Boredom with these great composers, and a lack of inspiration for further improvement – together with a Facebook link – led me to Nathan and his music.
What a breath of fresh air! I have found new inspiration with music that is challenging, lyrical and beautiful to play. If I have a specific problem or issue I can usually find a solution within the etudes.
A wonderful and beautiful addition to my library 😀
Well done Nathan!
PS I wait for more…

All of these etudes and studies are amazing for a little challenge and practice. I really feel like they are a new style and they really make me want to fail over and over again!

My favorite music to play is from popular films and cinema. John Williams , James Horner and my all time favorite the late Michael Kamen. If you are someone who enjoys this type of very melodic , challengingly technical and flowingly lyrical music. You should appreciate the great achievements in music Nathan Ost has composed! I consider his complete collection of Etudes a gift to myself as an ever improving trumpet player!

Incredible for anyone who wants to improve their technique and interpretation.
Each melody line contains a lot of strength and character.
Obligatory studies for every trumpet player!

This series “4 catagory” breakdown lends itself to a systematic approach to both lyrical and technical playing. Other method books have used this this approach, but here the refreshing and modern melodies give it a fresh and more relatable experience. Can’t wait until the “84 duets for trumpet” is out…hint, hint…lol
