I think Jerry is right on the money here!

Usually a student when first introduced to the Trumpet/Cornet will blow either the low C or G after they have mastered forming the embourche. That's were I started using the Mel Bay method for Band back when Jimmy Carter was in office; and I don't think much has changed today.

However I'm not an expert on the topic I'm sure some of our educators on the board with chime in with the latest and the greatest!
