Kastelein: Easy Steps 2 Trumpet

The successful Easy Steps method was developed in response to the demand for a method with more gradual progression. There were many methods on the market where the steps followed each other too quickly. The result is a unique, practical method for use in music lessons, with plenty of room for personal interpretation. New editions of the books in this successful series have now been released. Besides being given a new look, they are now even better adapted to young users and group lessons. The CDs and CD-ROMs accompanying the books have been updated for modern times, and the accompanying piano parts are included directly on the CD-ROM.

The Method

Easy Steps is a complete, two-part method that contains all the ingredients for a successful education for the budding musician. The method is richly illustrated and contains - in addition to the necessary practice and playing material - musical games, ensemble exercises, ear training exercises, and much more. The accompaniment (with or without an example) is included for all pieces.

The Books

The books form the foundation. Everything is covered here. New notes and rhythms are taught, with instructions on how to play them, and various musical concepts are discussed. Especially at the beginning, the steps are very small: gradual progression is the motto. This gives the student the opportunity to properly process the acquired skills - through understandable explanations, exercises, games, and medleys of well-known songs. The clear structure and organized layout provide extra clarity.

The CDs

The accompanying audio CDs contain the accompaniments for all exercises and pieces. These are often played through once as well. The tempos of the music are slow, making it easy to play along quickly.

The DVD/CD-ROM

With the Easy Steps books, a DVD (part 1) or CD-ROM (part 2) is now included in addition to the CDs. This significantly increases the possibilities for use. The DVD(-ROM) contains an instructional video demonstrating the basic principles of playing the instrument. This video can be played on a regular DVD player, as well as on a computer.

With the help of a computer, piano parts for the medleys can be printed. A separate piano book is therefore not necessary. In addition, there are trios on it (part 1: eight pieces, part 2: twelve pieces), from which both the score and the individual parts can be printed. Indispensable for group lessons!

All accompaniment tracks are included as MP3s on the DVD-ROM. This makes it very easy to find the right track for the right song. The MP3 files can be transferred to an MP3 player, making it possible to play along anywhere.
