This book has been selected for the 2026-2027 TMEA etudes for trumpet.
Wilhelm Wurm's 40 Studies for Trumpet, edited by Roger Voisin, provides a collection of unaccompanied etudes for developing both technical command and musical consistency. The writing draws on scale and arpeggio patterns alongside less predictable melodic shapes, encouraging the player to read beyond familiar finger combinations. It is useful material for working on accurate notes, even rhythm, and a clear musical line within a complete study rather than an isolated exercise.
For lesson work, a productive approach is to separate a difficult passage into its rhythmic, fingering, and phrasing demands before rebuilding it at tempo. That makes the collection a practical companion to daily fundamentals for advancing trumpet students.
This is International Music Company No. 2025, the Wurm/Voisin edition listed by TMEA for the 2026-2027 trumpet audition cycle. It is the 40-study volume, not one of the larger Wurm collections issued by other publishers.
* Note: Houghton Horns is not in any way affiliated with the creators of this video. We included the video to give you a general taste of what the song will sound like, but the artist's interpretation of the piece may vary from your sheet music.
