The notes in the Sachse book that are below the normal register are not really meant to be played on the Bb trumpet .
What he (Sachse) really intended for the player to do is jump right in and transpose, kind of a "baptism by fire".
When I was in undergrad school my teacher made practice out of the Sachse book 'til I thought I was gonna puke.
But years later when I began working all kinds of jobs (mostly commercial)
I was very happy that he made me work in that book.
All professional trumpet players should master the art of transposition, because you WILL be called on to use it , whether you are an "orchestral player " or a "commercial player"
Very important.
It is a good idea to practice the scales in the front of the book , to get a good grasp of transposing by intervals.
