{"product_id":"9780692896310","title":"Key Areas: A Study in Tonalities for Trumpet","description":"This book is a must have for the collegiate trumpeter! The idea for this book emerged from morning practice sessions with Fred Mills, former Canadian Brass trumpeter and professor of trumpet at the University of Georgia. \"Key Areas\" is a play on words. In the obvious sense it simply refers to the 12 keys we use in Western music. However, \"key areas\" also refers to the fact that this method book covers many aspects of trumpet playing that are \"key\" to ones success. The main purpose of this book is to explore the most common western tonalities through all 12 keys in a way that will aid in the trumpeter's technical development and ear training. A strong aural foundation cannot be over emphasized and is a requirement for any serious musician. This book clearly lays out these fundamental building blocks, which if mastered, will be the key to unlocking musical freedom and expression. Hopefully this book will serve as a tribute to Fred as well as a tool for your development. Enjoy!","brand":"Lee Lamb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49859123511536,"sku":"9780692896310","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692896310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
