How to use this list
- Methods and etudes every day. The works marked Essential form the core of daily practice at each stage.
- Stretch, but not too far. Pick most pieces from your class and one from the next class up as a long-term goal.
- Transposition early. Getchell and later Sachse prepare you for orchestral parts in C, D and E-flat.
- Piccolo trumpet. Many Baroque works need piccolo – the notes say which ones work on C trumpet.
Repertoire list adapted from the recommended repertoire lists by Trumpet Journey and the Recommended Solo Trumpet Repertoire compiled by Luis Engelke. Difficulty levels are a guide – ask your teacher which works suit you best.
Browse all works in the Trumpet Play-Along Catalog A–Z or find PDF parts in the Trumpet Sheet Music Library.
