@veryrandomdude7702 thanks! Always appreciate the positive feedback. I've been playing trumpet for about 20 years, jazz for about 6-10 but I've really only begun to 'unlock' my potential and really understand 'playing the changes' in a way that resonates with me in the past two months. I've spent two decades and I wish I knew one simple thing that works with my approach and skills set. <3

Wow, very high praise :) thank you!

Your very kind! Thank you so much <3

:) thanks will! Still lots to be done but the feedback is absolutely motivating :)

Oh thank you, awesome to hear. Striving to get there at tempo. Yes :) all improv!

Thank you sir!

Not sure what to take from that comment haha I've tried it from 80 all the way to 300 with various results and enjoyment. I prefer playing at faster tempos but it's not necessarily as musical nor as good for learning the changes. I think it can be played over any of those ranges tbh just modifications to the head might be needed at slower tempos.

Thank you! Still a work in progress

Appreciate it!, ironically giant steps demands Itty bitty little ones when it comes to learning it haha

Slow n steady haha

Awesome thanks! Second kick at the can so lots of room for improvement :)

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. It's an effective tool.

@@mylescornish2373I think he just found it amusing how he instantly recognized iReal - meaning he’s a fan of it too

@EmmetFettig ooo good point. Thanks :)

@@EmmetFettig that’s exactly right ;)

Absolutely! First tip is that if you can't buzz it on the mouthpiece, it's much more difficult on the horn. If you'd like, we can set up a virtual lesson and discuss rates through e-mail :) Otherwise, I can paste together a few tips in a video and share it on CZcams. They would be generic though and lack customization for you.

@@mylescornish2373 thank you!! i can buzz pretty well and i use it as part of my daily warm up. i’m transitioning to a new school and over the summer i want to increase my range for marching band. i would prefer some videos with sheet music to help follow along if that’s no trouble. i just don’t have a fellow trumpet player to talk to! thanks for it all!!

@payphonequarters sounds good, do you know what your highest note is you can buzz on your mouthpiece?

@@mylescornish2373 i’m not sure. i think it’s pretty bad. like the first A above the staff..

@@payphonequarters that's not too shabby at all. What about playing through the horn? About an A as well?

Much Appreciated!! :)

Appreciate those nice words, thanks for stopping in!

Yassirrr!! Thx for stopping in :)

Appreciate the positive feedback. Keep at it, breakthroughs are always just around the corner <3

Thank you kindly, and thanks for taking a quick moment to listen!

@@mylescornish2373 You're welcome.
