The Boom Method - Vol.1

The Boom Method - Vol.1 Dan Rosenboom is a wonderful player and musician. His technique is flawless, his ideas are creative and amazing. One of the things that I stress is that we should practice not only the things that we can play but also the things that we cannot play. The book that Dan has created, and is completely able to play, is full of things that will expand anyone’s playing tremendously. I am very confident that the player that uses his book will not only move to the next level but over time will jump several levels ahead. Congratulations Dan on an amazing book! – Jon Lewis, Los Angeles Studio Musician, Instructor of Trumpet, California State University, Northridge “Dan Rosenboom is one of the finest trumpeters I’ve had the privilege to work with. Besides being a stylistically complete musician, Dan is a deep thinker when it comes to music or overcoming issues on the trumpet. The book you hold in your hands is great representation of things Dan has practiced to mold him into the virtuoso musician he is today. All the material is laid out in a practical fashion with thorough explanations of the goals at hand. As a student of the trumpet, I’m looking forward to diving into this material myself. Bravo Dan!” –Wayne Bergeron, Yamaha Performing Artist, Los Angeles Studio Musician, Instructor of Jazz Trumpet, California State University, Northridge “Dan Rosenboom is one of the most incredible young players I have ever met. Technically, he was a student of mine. In reality, I learned from him! This is an enlightened methodology by a truly gifted practitioner of musical art who simply happens to play trumpet!” –Jens Lindemann, International Trumpet Soloist, Canadian Brass, Professor of Trumpet and Brass Area Head, The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music "The contents of Dans book are a great resource for those students that aspire to have the tools to be able to handle anything thats put in front of them." –Barry Perkins, Principal Trumpet, Pacific Symphony, Los Angeles Studio Musician, Professor of Trumpet at the University of California, Irvine, and California Baptist University The Los Angeles Philharmonic Trumpet Section loves The Boom Method: “The Boom Method offers insight into the approach of a talented, focused, creative and successful musician. Dan is the guy you can call for any situation whether its new music, orchestral standards, jazz or anything in-between. For todays ever-increasing musical and technical requirements, this book offers a great mix between solid fundamentals and "bonus round" material for the advanced player, making sure we are prepared for all the possibilities that may come our way. Thanks Dan!“ –Thomas Hooten, Principal Trumpet, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Adjunct Assistant Instructor at the University of Southern California “Rosenboom is more than a trumpet pedagogue, hes an innovator. The Boom Method will inspire you, humble you, and remind you why you started making music in the first place." –Christopher Still, 2nd Trumpet, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Founder of Honesty Pill Online Courses for Musicians In an increasingly crowded market of trumpet methodology, Dan Rosenboom has produced something quite creative, unique and diabolically challenging. It may sound cliché, but this book really does offer something for players of all levels. Dan is a great all-around trumpet player in high demand in Los Angeles, and now he’s provided a peek into how he has attained his freakish skills. He has gone into great detail to describe exactly how these exercises should be approached, so the conscientious student should be able to realize quantifiable progress if they exercise discipline and restraint. Highly recommended. –James Wilt, Associate Principal Trumpet, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Professor of Trumpet at The Colburn School
