I couldn't tell you what she is thinking. I read that article but it felt very vague and ambiguous on purpose.

I will be moving trumpet boards to a new server over the next few days. If you experience any interruptions (which I will try to keep minimal), that is why.

If you need anything please email me: info@trumpetboards.com

I saw this on TrumpetHerald. It's an interesting development, I wish her well. Success has its price, no doubt.

I checked these out and Ivan, they are so instructional and insightful. Keep them flowing!

That last note brought my dogs into the room. No. Seriously, they were out in the hall but as soon as that last note was hit, they came running in. Amazing.

Hard to advise without more detail and being there to watch and hear.

The most important question is: How long has it been since you have been back on the trumpet? It takes weeks (on average 6 weeks) to tone muscle to the point of getting a consistent response. Time playing may be a relevant issue.

Once the basic embouchure development is well underway, than yes, playing with others and listening and then hearing the changes you need to make would be of high value.

Is the trumpet in need of repair? Have you had other experienced trumpet players play your trumpet and if so, is the intonation fine when others play? If so, we can likely exclude instrument contribution out of the discussion.

By the way, I believe it was the Yamaha 631 that Chuck Mangione used, and word on the street was it Feels So Good.

If TrumpetBoards had an award for most creative and artistic design, I know you would get it! So amazing, functional and esthetic, and a heck of a lot more economical then getting a hand surgeon consultant.

Playing a big band gig tonight and the director passed out the charts to sight read "Feel So Good" giving me the solo flugelhorn part. That one was for you Chuck.
