CLYDE E. HUNT'S TRUMPET CORNER


B.S., M.A., Ascap
Trumpeter, teacher, clinician, composer, arranger, and author.

Hi Clyde,
Your tape and presentation are wonderful. I was 'concerned' that a less than adequate player might be trying to get through all that material in one lifetime. But you make it work!!

Congratulations again on such a terrific and helpful adventure. I know you've put a great deal of time and effort into it.

Bill Bing, Los Angeles" (William Bing is the author of "The Bing Book")

" He is, by the way, one of the finest all-around trumpet players I've heard in my lifetime. No, this isn't an ad for Hunt's materials, though it may sound like it. I don't even know him; not even sure which university he's with. It's just that I am enormously impressed by someone with the range of MF, the technique of Mendez, and the tone of a symphonic player. Some may think I'm overdoing it, but this guy is something."

"Since each etude would significantly test the range and endurance of today's most skilled trumpeters, they are approachable only by students who are religiously committed to developing a phenomenal range...while the difficulty of these (ELEVEN) Etudes may well preclude the possibility of any human being rendering a near-perfect performance, Hunt's endeavor, while not always perfect, is nonetheless astounding...." - J. M., Journal of the International Trumpet Guild

* Brilliant * Sensational * ...he plays the most difficult passage with apparent ease * Among the more prominent and impressive soloists are trumpet player Clyde Hunt,... * Hunt was the outstanding soloist of the day....he had the audience applauding a long time. * I just finished listening to the TOP TONES FOR THE TRUMPETER - BRAVO! I'm going to tell the whole city of Boston
