Trumpet Virtuoso Skill Level

The Trumpet Virtuoso Skill Level is the seventh level in our system, the second of two advanced levels. Music and exercises written for this level will have a range up to G above high C or higher. (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 Virtuoso Skill Level, the music and exercises utilize all the most difficult aspects of music and trumpet playing.

Typically, trumpet players using music and exercises from the Trumpet Virtuoso Skill Level have been playing the trumpet for eight years or longer. Most trumpet players will never make it this far, no matter how much they practice.
