Suggested list of trumpet repertoireLast revised: August 24, 2014.

Students are encouraged, in consultation with their teacher, to use this list to help select repertoire of appropriate difficulty for juries and recitals. This list is not exhaustive, and students are welcome to perform pieces not found here. Grading a piece's difficulty is subjective, and students will likely not proceed in order through this list or select an entire program from one grade.
