What A Wonderful World - BUNDLE ( PDF + AUDIO )

Looking for What A Wonderful World for trumpet and piano? Here you will find a play-along with piano accompaniment, the trumpet sheet music in PDF and a high-quality audio track for this music by George David Weiss & Bob Thiele. The trumpet takes the main melody and the piano part supports it, so the piece sounds complete even in a small room or a church.

• Original Performer: Louis Armstrong, who recorded it on August 16, 1967.

When you play What A Wonderful World, think first about the sound. Aim for a centred, open tone that does not force the high notes, and let the dynamics follow the shape of the melody. The piano part gives you the harmony, so listen to it and blend with it rather than playing over it.

A good practice plan for What A Wonderful World starts away from the accompaniment: learn the notes and the rhythm slowly, check difficult intervals on the piano or with a tuner, and practise the endings of phrases as carefully as the beginnings. When the part feels natural, put it together with the piano.

The trumpet part stays in a comfortable range and moves at a moderate pace, so it suits beginners and early intermediate students who want a rewarding piece to perform. It works especially well in a recital programme, for church services and weddings, at Christmas concerts and holiday services, in light-music and film-music concerts and in jazz sets and informal gigs.

The play-along video lets you hear the full piano part and practise with a real accompaniment at home. Start by listening once with the score in front of you, then play along and mark breaths and places where the tempo moves. Recording yourself together with the track is one of the fastest ways to hear your intonation and timing the way an audience will.

The trumpet sheet music is available as an instant PDF download ($3.99), so you can print the part and start practising right away. The high-quality audio accompaniment ($ 4.99) is ideal for rehearsing at home and for performing when no pianist is available.
