Q. What do you call the person who graduated last in class from medical school?
A. "Doctor".
As even unemployed musicians with a DMA still insist on being called "Doctor," I'm not sure what to call people anymore.

They sure are purty...
That's word-for-word what I was thinking! I love the design. So....these are NOT related to Adam Rapa in anyway, correct?

RE: Laughter is the Best Medicine
Ha. Perhaps! It's clever, though. Since you're a doctor, I'll let it slide.

RE: What happened to Jazz programming?
@J-Jericho said in What happened to Jazz programming?:
To my ear most contemporary music is either a mind-numbing repetitive mantra of a standard rhythm and a prescribed minimum number of the same notes in the same prescribed key, always and exclusively sung by young males whose high voices have not changed into manhood or a Scrabble of notes sung in an endless, random journey to nowhere by a female with almost no overtones in the timbre of her coarse, lifeless voice. It baffles me that there seems to be an endless market for this crap.
That was a very entertaining sentence to read!

@administrator Better to get used to the new horn with your current mpc and see how you like the combination. If you don’t, worry about that later. Changing up both at once might be more than you really want to deal with.
Yep. I'm just playing around right now. I haven't played in 7 years so....it's fun for me!

RE: LONG TONES
I'm not a fan of "long tones." Hear me out (I do have a degree in trumpet performance):
As trumpet players, we hardly ever just play a single note and hold it as long as we can. I can't even think of one instance off the top of my head, with the exception of the intro to the overture "Rienzi," but, even then, we don't just "hold" it, but rather crescendo and decrescendo in a controlled manner.
I subscribe more to the Cichowicz idea of "moving long tones." If I have only 30 minutes to practice in a day, I'll do some Stamp exercises and then maybe a lyrical etude. The goal is to develop sound, centering of pitches and continuity of air, something that long tones doesn't help much with.

When I Fall In Love is one of my favorite ballads and wish I could play it as well as Blue Mitchell does :
This reminds me of the rendition Chris Botti recorded.

No. Ryan Anthony had a particularly bad type of cancer for several years.

RE: AR Resonance Mouthpieces
@barliman2001 said in AR Resonance Mouthpieces:
@administrator They are related in that Adam Rapa had a hand in some of the designs and is endorsing them. That may not be in their favour - I just don't like Adam Rapa (for personal reasons: I was once entered in one of his master classes, and he ended it one day short, before I was even due to attend... did not get a single cent back because of a clause in the contract saying that if the master class needed to be shortened for artistic reasons, that was the risk of the participant. I do understand why his wife of the time, singer Elisabeth Vik, divorced him shortly afterwards).
What does being shortened for "artistic reasons" mean? Like, he got a last minute gig that paid better?

RE: LONG TONES
I like these long tones because they remind me a lot of Stamp studies. In Stamp studies, you use the same embouchure to go down as low as possible and then back up, as high as possible.
