The Arban Method (La grande méthode complète de cornet à piston et de saxhorn par Arban) is a complete pedagogical method for students of trumpet, cornet, and other valved brass instruments. The original edition was published by Jean-Baptiste Arban in 1864 and it has never been out of print since. The Arban Method is considered by many to be "the brass bible" or "the trumpeter's bible." It contains hundreds of exercises, ranging enormously in difficulty. Many trumpet players will spend hours on an individual exercise in order to gain a complete mastery over it, long after the untrained ear would cease to hear a difference. The method begins with fairly basic exercises and progresses to very advanced compositions, such as a very complex arrangement of Carnival of Venice, which is a signiture piece of famous trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. Many musicians believe that one could spend decades of solitude playing out of the Arban's Book and emerge with a masterly level of skill. Trumpeter redirects to here. ...

Joseph Jean Baptist Laurent Arban (28 February 1825 - 9 April 1889) was a cornetist, conductor, pedagogue and the first famed virtuoso of the cornet à piston or valved cornet.
He was influenced by Niccolò Paganini's virtuosic technique on the violin and in an (arguably successful) attempt to "prove" the cornet as a true solo instrument, developed extreme virtuosic technique on the instrument.
This method, which is often referred to as the "Trumpeter's Bible" is still studied by modern brass players.
