FOUNDATIONS OF TRUMPET TRANSPOSITION

Transposition is an extremely beneficial skill for a trumpet player, enabling you to perform music written for instruments in a variety of keys. The purpose of this book is to develop transposition skills through a carefully sequenced progression of exercises and musical excerpts based on the transpositions most commonly encountered by trumpet players. When you master the fundamental skill of transposition, you become a well-rounded and invaluable musician!

"Dr. Aaron Witek has created an exceptional and much-needed resource for teaching trumpet transposition. This book fills a significant gap in the trumpet pedagogy literature, and…I am delighted to add it to my teaching library.” - Dr. Raquel Samayoa, Professor of Trumpet, University of North Texas

"This new addition to the pedagogical lexicon helps clarify the process of transposition and why we need to do it from a historical standpoint. Doctor Aaron Witek has thoughtfully put together a beginner’s approach to transposition, which provides a step-by-step approach to learning transposition in a weekly lesson timeline. This week-to-week approach is often easily neglected in lessons, both in the high school and collegiate age groups. Doctor Witek has created exercises that can be touched upon in a consistent, digestible way so the student builds strong transpositional skills over time without feeling overwhelmed. Thank you, Doctor Witek, for your time and attention on this." - Tom Hooten, Principal Trumpet, LA Philharmonic; Professor of Trumpet, USC Thornton School of Music

“Aaron Witek’s 'Foundations of Trumpet Transposition' is described perfectly by its title! It is a well-organized and exciting approach to developing both the ear and the technical skills necessary to master transposition. Most importantly, it accomplishes this goal in a non-intimidating fashion, with playable examples that allow the student to concentrate on transposition without being encumbered by complexities of range, endurance, or other possible distractions. I highly recommend it as an outstanding starting point for the study of transposition!” - Vince DiMartino, International Trumpet soloist; Pickett Brass and Blackburn Trumpets Performing Artist
