Trumpet Tyro Skill Level

The Trumpet Tyro Skill Level is the second level in our system, the second of two beginner levels. Music and exercises written for this level will have a range up to fourth space E. (For compositions with multiple trumpet parts, the range of the lower parts may not be as high, but the other musical aspects will be as advanced.)

Range is the most distinguishable characteristic separating the seven skill levels in our system, but every aspect of music is graduated across the seven levels. At the Trumpet Tyro Skill Level, the music and exercises are limited to five key signatures, basic time signatures and basic trumpet skills.

Typically, trumpet players using music and exercises from the Trumpet Tyro Skill Level have been playing the trumpet for six months. For some trumpet players it can take a little longer to reach this level, as long as a full year, depending on how much they practice.
