After more than 1 year
trumpetstuff.com has came back online! I was so happy that I
started listening to a lot of files!
One of my favourite was Gesse McGuire's performance of Star Spangled Banner (check in the site under TOP, Tower of Power).
I was so happy listening to it that I decided to record it myself! I hope you like it! (there is also a new arpeggio online)
Check it out!!!

Tony,
I love your Arban’s stuff. Thanks for all the helpful stuff you’ve been putting up on the web. I was just wondering if you have a written copy of what you do as your daily routine. I’m trying to improve my technique and would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Brian P. Vessey

My twin, as usual, criticized my
project and told me that I had to record some "beautiful"
pieces...
So I started the Baroque Music page, you'll find the most famous concertos played without the orchestra... (as usual!)
Today I recorded J. Haydn's first tempo and M. Haydn's second tempo
Here is the link!
Moreover I recorded two new VERY difficul Arban pieces (the 12 Celebrated Fantasies)
Check pieces N.1 and N.9

Mr.
Rapacciuolo,
Where do I begin when I speak to such an amazing player such as yourself. You are the most underrated musician I have ever heard. Your dark tone and amazing capabilities in all the range of the instrument is something I am most in awe by. With that talent me and a few of my other trumpet friends would like to know why you haven't been personally invited to the London Symphony. Your amazing abilities has to be worthy of such an honor. If you can, in your spare time afford to make the following recordings out of these Arban's book exercises:
(LIST OF EXERCISES)
Thank you for your patience and raw talent that me and many others, as trumpet players, admire so much. We appreciate the time and effort you have put into having these exercises recorded and available freely to the public to listen to for educational purposes.
Two greatful students of the art,
Jesse Hodge and Andrew Bezik

Melodic stuff, many duets... Nice!
I've started with exercises on:
Pag. 48 to 57 N.1 to 17
A lot of stuff!!!

Up to now I have recorded more than
400 exercises, not all of them are online yet due to lack of time,
anyway I thought I HAD to complete the first exercises of the
Arban.
So I started from the beginning of the book (VEEEERY boring exercises...) and recorded everything up to page 36!!!
It's 87 exercises!!!
So today's update about Arban is... the missing exercises up to page 36! (check in Staccato section!)
Another update of Me and My Twin Section is Peter Gunn made world wide famous by The Blues Brothers Movie.
As usual is very short but effective!
Check it out in two versions: with or without trumpet!
In the next days I will ad a LOT of Arban stuff!
