I think you need more water.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Hopefully, if there is any silver lining, other people will read this and not fall for the scam.

By all means, please do find a good trumpet teacher. But let me warn you -- they should NOT cost you $6000, and especially not upfront.

I had a lesson with a world-renowned trumpet teacher and this individual charged me $150 for an hour. It was very informative and worth the cost and probably more. That being said, if I had one lesson per week with this individual (world-class, mind you) over the course of, say 50 weeks (1 year approx.), it would cost $7500. So, you see, yes, it can add up. However, this would be in-person, intensive professional preparation with the best instructor out there. So, unless you are finding that individual, please don't pay that kind of money.

Wow, that's really bad. I heard about this in the news, but it's been downplayed after the latest presidential assassination attempt.

Is it beginning to recede?

A very attentive student!

Welcome, thanks for joining.

Not sure what's going on here, I haven't been following the thread, but maybe we should turn the temps down a couple of notches.

Hey.....if it works, it works!

It looks like a good time.

Arban's has lots of good stuff in it. I believe that Tom Hooten did a revision of Arban's. It would be worth looking into purchasing that edition.

@administrator You can always find me in Vienna - quite near to Prague.

Ah yes, that's right, they're not far away from each other! Isn't the Votruba factory nearby?
