This guide has been put together as a joint effort. Several members of TPIN, The Trumpet Players International Network, as well as others, have contributed with information and tips here.

A CP is a person who once started playing the trumpet, then for some reasons put the trumpet away in the closet. Then, maybe years later, he or she decided to take up playing again. It can also be a person who have been playing all the time and are having troubles. What he or she want, is to "come back" to a better and easier way of playing the instrument.
