Some days ago I had a concert with my pupils and as opening of the concert we used this one, then it hit me... I don't have that online. So, here it is:
A simplified, transposed, easy version of "Prince of Denmark's March" or how is colloquially known, "Trumpet Voluntary" by English Baroque composer, Jeremiah Clarke (1674-1707).
This was intended as an example for my trumpet pupils (11 to 14), to familiarize them with typical trumpet repertoire.
To keep it easy I cut off some parts, I simplified the trills (in Baroque music is usual to start with the upper note, but how you hear in the example, is a measured trill starting from the main note) and to teach the kids to listen to each others and coordinate, I added a trill to the second trumpet too.
Here it's how it should sound:

Hi there. My name is Mihai Sorohan and I've been a professional trumpet player for quite a while now. At the moment I work as a trumpet teacher in Norway. This is a page where I share my teaching resources, my practicing routines, solutions I found while trying to fix my own playing mistakes and maybe interesting finds that concerns trumpet playing.
