Easy trumpet solos for kids
Easy Beginner Trumpet Solos with Piano Accompaniment
What Is This Book?
Easy Beginner Trumpet Solos with Piano Accompaniment is a collection of traditional melodies arranged especially for new trumpet players with supportive piano parts. Each solo is presented in a clean, uncluttered format without printed phrasing or dynamics, so teachers can tailor musical details to each student. The result is a flexible resource that keeps the focus on playing, listening, and enjoying music.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is ideal for young beginner trumpet students, generally in elementary and middle school. It works well for school band programs, private lessons, and home learners who want simple solos with a real piano accompaniment. It’s also useful for recitals, studio performances, and any setting where a new player needs easy, familiar tunes to perform confidently.
What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
The solos are arranged with simple rhythms and comfortable ranges that suit early trumpet players. Each page has a clean, uncluttered layout with no extra markings to distract new readers. Because phrasing and dynamics are intentionally left out, teachers and parents can add just the right amount of detail for each student’s level, making it easier to focus on one new concept at a time. The familiar melodies help kids learn faster because they can already “hear” the tune in their heads as they play.
What Music Does the Book Include?
The book features a wide variety of well-known traditional and children’s songs that beginning players love. Students will find classic favorites like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” “Jingle Bells,” “Hot Cross Buns,” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” along with other simple folk and seasonal tunes. Each piece is arranged as a solo for trumpet with a clear, easy piano accompaniment that supports the melody and adds musical richness.
Are There Fun Extras Included?
This book focuses on the music itself and does not include additional extras. But, also available are versions for other instruments to be used in mixed group classes.

How to Use This Book
Teachers can use one or two pieces at a time alongside a regular trumpet method, gradually introducing the solos as recital or assessment pieces. Parents can support home practice by having students play the melody alone first, then add the piano accompaniment with a teacher, accompanist, or older student. In school or studio recitals, each solo can be performed with piano to showcase a beginner’s progress in a polished, musical way. Students can also use the book to prepare for church services, holiday programs, or informal family performances, making practice more meaningful and motivating.
