Brass for Beginners® is a story about collaboration and progression across continents. Its cast of characters includes educators, scholars, musicians, artists, philanthropists, and countless elementary school students, and its story developed organically over the past decade through the use of the natural trumpet as a teaching tool. It was the result musician and educator Chris Hasselbring’s desire to make learning the trumpet a more meaningful educational experience for his students, and ultimately led to the idea of creating a curriculum for complete beginners. A total of six versions of a beginners’ method were developed and tested in collaboration with educators Jack Hasselbring and Kirsty Montgomery, resulting in the present volume, “Around the World in Twenty-One Trumpets: A Brass Odyssey.”
