"One of my students brought a copy of your book to her lesson and I was so impressed. I needed to have one. I certainly enjoy the way it is written and the honest approach to playing the horn. Well done!"
I am head of music at the University of Ballarat in Australia. I am going to put your publication on the book list for all trumpets next year and there after. I also think that it can be useful for all brass....!"

Dear Mr. Hunt,
Last year, my junior year in high school, I purchased your book "Sail The Seven C's." Nothing has helped me more than your book over the last year. I took lessons and tried other method books, but nothing made more sense to me than your book. Before I ordered your book I could nail a High D, and sometimes go up to an Eb. Now in my senior year I can go up to a High F (a powerful one, too) every day, and High G is becoming more and more frequent. I've been able to play a High G every day for the past two weeks, because I took your book very seriously.
The only other factor than your book that has helped me was choosing the right mouthpiece, which your book said I should do. I was using a Jet-Tone LMEX until about two months ago. I noticed my range starting to decrease and my band director said that I should change mouthpieces. I now use a Warburton 5S that gets the job done. It's the only mouthpiece I use because I don't want to fall into the drawer full of mouthpieces syndrome. I use it to play jazz and orchestral music.
Thanks to your book I have cut down mouthpiece pressure. I used to have scars on the inside of my lips from my teeth, but no more. Also, because I had so much control over my range, I made lead in the South Carolina All-State Jazz Band.
So thank you, Mr. Hunt, for publishing your book which showed me the way to have a better, more effective range. Hopefully in the next year I'll be able to say that I have a nice, solid Double C!
Sincerely,
Josh Billingsley (south Carolina) ****************************************************************************************************************************** Dear Mr.Hunt,
I got your book sail the the seven C`s and I contuinue to practice it for about half a year now. I restarted playing the trumpet 2 years ago after having studied music when I was young.
At the moment I am able to play the first four lessons easy and I practice lesson 5 to high "f" for the moment. To tell the truth, I never felt so comfortable playing notes above c3 as I do now.
I think that is has mostly to do with the fact of releasing the tension out of my boy leaving my throat as open as possible and not changing the setup of my lips anymore. I stick to the pedals by buzzing int the morning on my berp and then I do the harmonics on page 38 of your book as easy as possible. I can feel the lips buzzing inside the moutpiece now, a feeling i never had before. (pedals!)
The Brandt Studies I can do better than ever, same with Clarke. I have fun to blow the flow studies now and I start to understand what I often red before: In the end it is just the blow. So.........thanks for the hints in your book!
My question. The first acoustic pedal I have to change the lower lip postion. Is that ok? You say yes in your instructions but I have the impression to use different cheek and chin musles than. What do you think?
Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany
Your(s)

What the critics have said

"SAIL THE SEVEN C'S is excellent trumpet literature, a must for every trumpeter's library." - Jazz Trumpet Journal *
"...repeated reading is suggested. The accompaning recording is invaluable...he is never condescending.... he writes as though he were with you in the practice room" - Journal of the International Trumpet Guild *

"...from beginning to end, this text is an inspiration for extended tones high brass instruction" - Intl. Association of Jazz Educators

"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
