So an A on piano is written as a B for trumpeters, but the pitch of the note is the same. I know, I know, it's weird and confusing. Don't shoot the messenger. This is a lesson from the "Dark Eyes" video course for intermediate and comeback trumpet players. It's got pages and pages of downloadable sheet music, downloadable backing tracks at multiple tempos and styles, and over 40 videos.

I sure wish someone had explained this to me before college, and even then I had to work out how to use it for myself.
