tknowlton's "Listening List for Trumpet Students"

This list, for secondary school trumpet students, is designed to: 1) survey some of the basic repertoire, 2) inform the musical senses (tonal concept, phrasing, style, emotional connections, etc.), 3) experience the diversity of different musical genres, and 4) develop some appreciation of great music. Most, though not all, of the music here features the trumpet.

If you create a free account you can easily keep track of which one’s you have completed. Remember that students who complete the list will be rewarded with a $20 gift certificate for anything trumpet-related.
