          I like it, a lot. Someday I want to teach my kids to play and have a family brass band.

              Nice story. I think we'll hear more from her in the future.

              Entering the time machine, here is another child prodigy through the years who is now age 22, Lucienne Renaudin Vary.

              “French trumpeter Lucienne Renaudin Vary can be called a prodigy, making major concert appearances in French venues throughout her teenage years and releasing her first major-label album at 18. Her training and her debut album on Warner Classics have been notable for their mixture of classical, jazz, and pop repertory.

              Vary was born in Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire, France, on January 28, 1999. Showing talent early on the trumpet, she enrolled at the Conservatory of Le Mans in 2007, taking classical trumpet lessons from Philippe Lafitte and jazz instruction from Santiago Quintans. At the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris, she matriculated at first as a classical trumpet student, under Clément Garrec, but in 2017 she added jazz and improvisation to her course of study. Vary's record of strong competition showings began in 2010 with a win at the Selmer Le Parnasse contest, and in November of that year she finished third in the European Competition for Young Trumpet Players, even though the contest was for players 14 through 17, and she was only 11.

              Vary made her first festival appearances in 2012 at the Eurochestrie and Annecy festivals. In 2013 she appeared on French television in a tribute to trumpeter Maurice André, and by 2014 she had a busy festival schedule that included appearances in Colmar, Antibes, and Royan, performing at the last-named in a duet with star English trumpeter Alison Balsom. She also gave her first major jazz concert that year, in Le Mans at the city's Nuit de chimères event. Since then, she has divided her time roughly equally between classical and jazz appearances. Vary won a Victoire de la musique classique award in 2016 in the category of Instrumental Soloist Revelation. She made a guest soloist appearance at the Cartagena Music Festival in Colombia in 2017, becoming the festival's youngest-ever soloist and making her debut in the Americas.

              The Voice of the Trumpet
              In 2013
              Vary made her recording debut on an album by French trumpeter Guy Touvron, playing a work by Benedetto Marcello and joining Touvron on two-trumpet concertos by Saverio Mercadanteand G.F. Handel. In 2016 she was signed to the Warner Classics label and issued her solo debut, The Voice of the Trumpet, the following year. The program combined classical works, few of them standards, with jazz treatments of Broadway hits.”

                @ssmith1226 It's puzzling. She's so good at playing, yet something's missing (besides her shoes). She has to love what she does, or she wouldn't do it and do it this well, and yet there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm, and it comes across in her performances.

                      Actually, for a while I had a French Girlfriend. We got along great even though she spoke no English and I spoke no French.
                      She did not shave her legs, to my knowledge.
                      Pretty sure it was fourth grade.

                          I don't think it's a lack of enthusiasm but rather one of those performers who lose their selves in the music they are playing. It's like those singers that close their eyes when they sing, shutting out the audience. I just think the girl needs a little coaching on how to relate to an audience. The audience wants to feel that the performer is playing just for them. She could benefit from watching a few Frank Sinatra concerts. He looks directly at the audience, making them feel he is singing only to them. That's how to entertain.

                            The French are European. I did not notice their practices as being that different from each other. I did not notice the French (in this instance) as being any different from any other European's. There are plenty of other Europeans falling into other hygiene/appearance groups. And to be direct, there are those who are downright foxy.

                            Ref. something missing in her playing-IMO Piazolla doesn't really lend itself to brass transcriptions. What is active and intense on accordion can be hectic on trumpet.

                            Furthermore, I think to make musical sense out of it, it calls for more sophisticated insight into the music and I'm not sure maturity isn't a factor.

                              Maybe it's that left-handed trumpet on the album cover. Or maybe the fact that she appears to be about 4'-6" tall.

                                      Yeah, really sweet. Why do children play better than some adults ? Just look at this little girl's lips and how the mouthpiece is just barely making a seal. It's all about relaxation. Most kids are loose as a goose when they play.
