Centaurus - H. A. VanderCook trumpet solo

Centaurus is an excellent solo for young trumpet players from the VanderCook Trumpet Stars series (Set 2). It emphasizes good tone and articulation, and it covers a two-octave range from low G to high G. There are also many musical opportunities for the performer: dynamics, tempo/style changes, and a cadenza!
Trumpet and piano performed by Mike Piccione

I'm playing this for a solo ensemble competition and I actually like it, if I can get the sixteenth notes down.

[@musicman3998]

Yo I’m gonna doing this song for solo ensemble, looks pretty easy ngl

[@Jdjdjfh9292]

Any tips on how to hit the high notes as a 6th grader it’s hard to do it

[@billymilford3498]

Ascend by a half step each iteration.
