In 1912 Herbert L. Clarke wrote one of the mostly widely used trumpet method books ever written. It is still in use today by most every serious professional and aspiring professional trumpet and brass player.

In the Introduction of the book, Clarke says: "All the exercises in this bookare playable, and not very difficult, if practiced slowly at first and not for too long a time. I have used them in my daily practice for years and they have been the means of my reaching the highest notes after playing a two hour concertand also of preserving my lips so that they never tire."
