Easy Pieces for Trumpet and Piano
These well-known pieces should be useful to beginnning players of the Bb trumpet. They
are tuneful, memorable and free from copyright. Also included are some scale and
arpeggio exercises, so that the more remote keys are not neglected. The highest note
demanded is the g at the top of the clef. The pieces are arranged in approximately
alphabetical order of title. They were typeset using muscript (see
www.pjb.com.au/muscript).
