Ace of Trumpets - 20 Graded Studies by Derek Bourgeois is a collection of 20 progressive, unaccompanied studies for trumpet, designed to challenge developing players while providing interesting and musically satisfying material for practice and performance.

The studies were originally composed independently rather than in a predetermined sequence. They have subsequently been carefully arranged and edited in order of increasing difficulty, creating a structured collection that supports technical development and musical confidence.

Progressing from approximately Grade 4 to Grade 6 standard, the studies explore a variety of musical and technical challenges, including scale passages, modulation and related keys. Each piece is designed to sit comfortably under the fingers while encouraging expressive playing and greater fluency.

The 20 studies are numbered in order of difficulty, making this an excellent resource for trumpet players looking to extend their technique and musical understanding.
