A Dozen a Day – beginner exercises for trumpet, composed by Edward, published by Willis Music / Music Sales.

Edward’s Concerto Classics series for trumpetclarinet,  flute and violin, published by Boosey & Hawkes. These books feature popular concertos, simplified for intermediate players – you get all the good tunes, without the difficult bits!

Torelli One-Too, published by Warwick Music, is a jazz version of the first movement of Torelli’s trumpet concerto and appears on the grade 7 ABRSM syllabus. It was written for Edward’s close friend and colleague, James Stretton (as was Haydn Sleek in the Spiky Airs series).

Arban Lite books 1 and 2, published by Clifton Edition.  These are comprehensive books of original exercises modelled on the Arban, designed to consolidate important areas of technique (eg. slurs, fingering and tonguing) and musicality (eg. dotted and syncopated rhythms, phrasing and scales).  Book 1 is aimed at complete beginner to grade 2 standard; book 2 covers grades 3 to 5. If you are frustrated by the lack of depth of exercises in tutor books, but don’t have time to write out your own, these books are for you.

An arrangement of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto slow movement, transposed down a fourth, so the original E flat part can be played on a B flat trumpet. Approximately grade 4 standard.


The titles below were originally published by Spartan Press, but are sadly currently out of print. Football Crazy for trumpet was featured on the ABRSM syllabus between 2010 and 2016.

Edward’s brass quintet arrangements are available from Mardi Brass, and are featured on the following recordings:

Edward has also edited Christopher Norton’s Concert Collection for trumpet and Adam Woolf’s Sackbut Solutions.
