Mitchell on Trumpet • Book 2

Since every individual has their own unique set of strengths and challenges, the time necessary to devote to studying this method will vary from student to student. The important thing is to establish a structured schedule that is appropriate for you. There are countless professionals, educators, and performers who claim that Mitchell on Trumpet is the most complete trumpet method ever written.

The student who completes Mitchell’s Method will be among a select few who possess the endurance, technique, and flexibility needed to conquer any obstacle that they may encounter in any musical passage ever written for trumpet. This Book 2 and all that follow are dedicated to Harold’s son, Ollie Mitchell for his tireless pursuit to see his Pappy’s work available for future generations of aspiring players.

Ollie touched so many lives, but sadly, was peacefully reunited with his Pappy when he passed away at home surrounded by family and friends on May 11, 2013. Harold Mitchell lived during a time when musicians played a vital role in popular entertainment. It was a nostalgic era of live performances in music and theater. Mitchell on Trumpet is the culmination of Pappy’s life’s work and remains today as the only complete course ever written for learning to play the trumpet.
