Selected Duets for Trumpet Podcast
+ Read moreDavid Summer plays Selected Duets for Trumpet. Using his home recording studio, David has recorded some of the duets from the book Selected Duets for Trumpet, Volume 1 Edited by H.Voxman. These trumpet duets are standard learning material for trumpet students taking trumpet lessons and can be fun to play for all trumpet players. In addition to being educational, the duets may also be used by two trumpets in performance. They are especially effective for brass players who are playing wedding ceremonies, church services and other occasions calling for majestic or elegant brass music. This podcast contains the recordings of both trumpet parts, played as a duet. As a resource for trumpet students and trumpet teachers, David has also recorded each of these duets in a trumpet 2 only version that can be used as a play along. The matching trumpet 2 only version for each of these recordings can be found on the Trumpet Podcast page of David’s website at www.summersong.net.

A Tribute to musical mentor Lloyd Abrams from Gary Comeau
Lloyd Abrams (jazz piano/jazz harmony instructor) died Dec 20, 2019….
Here’s a shout out to a man that through his patience & generosity changed the course of my life & rekindled the passion for music that continues to flourish to this day.
I studied with Lloyd for 5 years around ten years ago now.
He was always a joy to be around, talkin’ music, retelling stories of his younger years in Toronto & California… In my early time with him I argued about why something was a #9 instead of a b3, memorized instead of reading, but he was always patient. Sometimes I would say..”I don’t think I’ll ever get this”..and he would come back with..”Don’t worry, it will come”.
.. Took years to digest the concepts
he was teaching. His lessons were 1 hour in length but sometimes the lesson would run 90 minutes. He saw that I had the love & fire for the piano & he norished that. He let me take his cd’s
home and digest them. He would reminisce about the great flood of ’48 & his boyhood time on the beach in White Rock. I learned a lot from Lloyd & I think of him every time I go near a piano…
