What Is This Book?
Thirty Famous Patriotic Duets for Trumpet is a collection of classic American patriotic melodies arranged as easy-to-play trumpet duets. Designed for developing players, it brings together well-known tunes that celebrate the spirit and history of the United States. These versatile arrangements work well in lessons, school concerts, recitals, and holiday events like the Fourth of July or Memorial Day.
Who Is This Book For?
This book is ideal for elementary through early high school trumpet students who can read basic notes and rhythms.
It works well for private lessons, school band programs, small ensembles, and family music-making at home.
