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.

Tuning to the tuner is an impossible task when playing in a group, even when they are equal tempered. In most cases the notes move faster than the tuner can track in a group. The tuner works best when providing the tuning note or playing long tones during practice to identify our tendencies.

Without the tuner, who do we tune to?

It depends. When playing the first part, we tune to the other principals. When playing in a section, we tune to the principal player — it is our job to make them sound good.

Sometimes it's impossible to tune to a group that is badly out of tune. In that case, tune to your section leader, make them sound good, and rest content.

Very sad. Thanks for posting this.

Yeah, I would reach out to one of a few people. Also consider Michael Del Quadro of Del Quadro Trumpets.

Speaking of yard work, my wife and I spent about 30 hours replacing rotting wooden landscape timbers at the rear of the house with stone borders, as well as moving some plants and providing shallow steps from the yard to one of the bird baths. We redid a smaller natural area in the front yard, too. The total was about 225 stones. Yeah, we’re retired too…lol

It looks very nice. Do you have a big crop of cicadas this year?

Trumpet requires such high internal pressures, I'm surprised more people don't have medical issues. Do you think that playing a lower brass instrument could be a valid solution?
