April 23, 2008: After not having played trumpet for several decades, I decided to pick it up again and see if I could get back into playing shape. I played professionally for a number of years, several while attending school studying physiology and organic chemistry. When I ran across Jeanne?s book, Trumpeting by Nature, I was very impressed. Not only did each chapter make a world of sense to me, it illustrated and explained things that had bothered me when I was playing every night, sometimes on a split lip. Jeanne also takes the time to focus on the specific anatomical foundations of the embouchure that had never been explained or addressed at any length by any of my past instructors ? several of whom are now considered icons in the trumpet playing world. Her discussions of the various muscles involved in the embouchure are both accurate and interesting. I?ve spent a lot of time researching trumpet literature on the Net and haven?t run across any that discusses the specific musculature involved in an embouchure like Jeanne does in her book. I would recommend this book to anyone who?s a beginner, a hobbyist, a pro and especially those, who like me, are once again starting out on the instrument. Reading her book and following her advice and instruction has definitely helped me and can certainly prevent or remedy many of the embouchure problems players experience. Following Jeanne?s advice has allowed me to return to playing form quicker than I expected with an increase in range that still amazes me. This is a great book, full of interesting and valuable information and needs to be in your musical library.

May 24, 2007: This book covers it all, from beginning to play the trumpet through advanced concepts of interpretation, including an great section about the sorts of things to watch out for in professional life! Dozens of clear photographs help to clarify the already well-written text. And the font is large enough to be easily read! Anyone who takes the time to read this book will make progress!
