I have to audition for a camp in a few weeks and I need to know what a nice piece would be to prepare in a couple of weeks for a junior in high school (range is pedal tones to high c). What would you guys recommend?

if you can play it either la virgen de (macareina)? i dont know if the parenthasis word is how you spell it. or you can play carnival of venice.

It`d preferably be in Jazz though is the problem.

can you describe a pedal tone to me? i`ve heard the terminology before but never new what it was. anybody that can help please post back

I`s basically being able to play lower than the low F# on the trumpet...

*It`s

thanx. sry i cant help you with a piece for your audition. i wish you luck though.

The 2nd movement from the Haydn concerto is a great audition piece. It allows you to show lyrical playing and a little range (it goes up to high concert Ab). Another good piece would be the 2nd mvt. of Hummel or Andante et Allegro by Guy Ropartz.

Yah...

for your audition piece try the jazz solo from the song emancipation blues.

hmmm y n`t find the music to a piece by some of the Jazz/Bebop greats. jus to name a few: Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, u could even use Big Band favourites such as Benny Goodman, or Glenn Miller. or maybe even find a modern jazz piece. keep in mind th`t these pieces aren`t fit under classical and such category, the`re modern. hope th`t helps ya

I have thee coolest solo for unacompianed trumpet called "I Remember". It is set in the jazz idiom. It covers on the styles of Miles, Louie, Dizzy, and Clifford Brown. It is fairly difficult and it reaches the D above the staff but it is a cool piece none the less. I don`t think you can purchuse it but I could send you the link of where I got it.

Did you download it? It`d be kinda cool to look at...

I found it...
