Jean-Michel Pilc, jazz pianist and faculty member of Steinhardt School, New York University, has written a remarkable book about the artistic and creative process in the arts. The conversational style well suits the wide ranging topic which draws examples from art and music both classical and jazz.

A seven-volume modern Method for Trumpet, comprehensive and contemporary, by Anthony Plog
From ages 8 to 86, trumpet players have contributed little “lessons” they’ve learned about the trumpet, music and life to this collection.

It is hoped that more players will email in their own lessons to be added to future updates of this book.
