About this course

Kay Charlton is a trumpet teacher and player based in the UK. This is the second set of tunes from her book Are You Ready, picking up where Part 1 left off.

The seven pieces here have slightly longer phrases and a wider range than Part 1, across a spread of styles - rock, electronic, Middle Eastern and blues. Each tune introduces new notes step by step, so you build as you play rather than drilling exercises first.

Along the way you'll start improvising your own short phrases over the grooves. If you don't have a trumpet yet, the plastic pTrumpet is an affordable, hard-wearing way to start.

Who it's for

Total beginners who've never picked up a trumpet
Returning players easing back in after a break
Curious learners who want to play real tunes early

What you'll learn

Play seven short tunes across varied styles
Improvise simple call and response phrases
Recognise the shape of a basic blues

What you'll need

A trumpet, or an affordable plastic pTrumpet
A quiet spot where you can make sound
A few minutes most days, regularity over length

She completed a Masters in Music Education - 'Teaching Musician' at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in 2018.

Kay plays trumpet with the Bollywood Brass Band, a 9-piece band of brass and drums whose 2017 CD Carnatic Connection was nominated for a Songlines Magazine 'World Music Award' and given a 5-star review in the London Evening Standard. Kay composes and arranges for the band and leads on their education work, founding the Bollywood Brass Academy in 2017.

Kay's book of beginner repertoire, 'Are You Ready?', is published by Warwick Music; in 2017 Kay was commissioned by Warwick Music and Music Education Solutions to compose songs for a new KS1 scheme of work for the pBuzz, which was nominated as 'Education Resource of 2018' by the 'Education Awards'.

Other publications include pieces for Trinity's Initial (2015/2018) and Grade 1 (2018) piano syllabus, Bollywood Blast! (Spartan Press) - a series of brass and wind tutor books with backing tracks in a Bollywood style - and Whole Class Bollywood Blast with David Rose (Bedford Music Hub), which is aimed at teachers of whole-class instrumental lessons and includes an Arts Award Discover programme.

Her MusicGurus courses bring that classroom experience straight to you: from your very first trumpet lesson through two sets of tunes for beginners, Kay sets out exactly what to play and how to play it.
