Hello,
My name is Jim Grinta and I have been playing and teaching trumpet for decades. I have a Master's degree in trumpet performance and I've had the priviledge of playing with many great musicians throughout the years.
I played principal trumpet with the Mexico City Philharmonic and have performed with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the Santa Barbara Symphony, Pasadena, Long Beach and Redlands Symphonies and currently play principal trumpet with the New West Symphony in the Los Angeles area. I've had the good fortune to play on movie and TV recordings, have played with Andrea Bocelli on his west coast tour dates for 17 years and have been a Disneyland musician for 22 years. I play jazz, commercial music and basically anything I can get my hands on.
As a professional player I have been in many situations where clean, clear, fast articulation has been expected. I'm sure you have too and no matter what the situation, we have to deliver!
Over the years, I have developed and systemized concepts which, when practiced and applied, have enabled me to measure up to any tonguing task and boost my students' tonguing abilities considerably.
“This book contains excellent concepts on. tonguing for all brass instruments. In it, Jim explains the mechanics of tongue movement while still leaving room for individual adjustment. This is an invaluable book for students and professionals alike!”
- T.R. LA trumpet player.
“Jim’s approach breaks down the connection between breathing and articulation better than any book I’ve seen. Hang-ups common
to younger players could be avoided starting here. I wish I had it back then.
Glad I have it now! Thank you Jim.”
- D.E. Classical trumpeter and educator.
“I have always been amazed at Jim's ability to single tongue faster than anyone with whom I have played. He has the ‘fastest tongue in the West.’ Here he shares how to develop solid tonguing technique. Much more than an exercise book, this book addresses the physical fundamentals and ‘secrets’ of accurate, flexible, blazing tonguing technique.
This book is mandatory for my trumpet students at all levels.”
- J.E. Classical trumpeter and instructor
