@administrator said in Could you have a metal allergy?:

I would reach out to Dr. Bergman with any questions you might have. He is a personal friend of mine, a fine trumpeter and our next ITG President. I trust his word.

I am Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, was the President of the Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Association, have a National Teaching Award named after me (The Gary Onady Award) published Evidence-based Systematic Reviews on allergy reactions AND am a member of the American Federation of Musicians (very proud of that one). So what am I, chopped liver?

I see and have personally cared for and treated nickel allergies (more related to jewelry) for over 30 years in my medical practice. The case you posted is a clear presentation of long duration, repeat exposure to nickel which is commonly seen in a medical practice. So any individual can additionally reach out to me through this thread, as a member of TrumpetBoards. But I ask you to judge for yourselves if you feel my above discussions are on point.

Please do read our disclaimer. I do ask that you first reach out personally to your own physician and then have that physician contact me if they have additional questions. I will provide the background and medical recommendations that physicians' will need. I serve as a consultant to United Healthcare and the American College of Physicians to produce such educational materials for physicians and patients.

Didn't mean to discredit your credentials, only that I personally know Dr. Bergman and he's an empathetic and qualified trumpet pedagogue.

I know a trumpet player with perfect pitch. Actually, I know two. They are both fine trumpeters. That being said, one of them was my schoolmate and I still regularly beat him in auditions. I have decent relative pitch. Trombone is mostly about the muscle memory, just like trumpet.

Hi Moshe,

I'm not sure what you mean by this thread. Prayer requests are totally fine. I'm just trying to avoid "religious debates" and such. But yes, prayers and thoughts with you, I sure hope all goes well. Thanks,

Who Dey couldn't live without more mutes.

Too much libation?

@Kehaulani said in Practicing with drones:

I used to be active on Sax on the Web, and several of the participants used drones regularly for intonation work.

I'm actually fairly impressed. I didn't know there were such humble saxophonists!

@Bob-Pixley said in How about a "Random Meaningless Image...let's see them string"?:

OUCH!

Ok. Should be an easy fix. I'll get to it

Schagerl.

@Vulgano-Brother said in Increase high range by 4 notes in 6 weeks?:

Bill Chase used to use long-tones to increase range.

The answer, once again, is long-tones!

I have learned a great lesson in my short, 29 years of life.

Here's how it goes:

If it hurts (temporarily)...
If it isn't very fun...
If it isn't easy...
If it isn't popular...
If it isn't exciting...
If you don't look forward to doing it when you wake up in the morning...
If it takes a long time...
If it requires patience...
If it eschews pride and embraces humility...

It's probably right!

Maybe there are not "natural" players, but there certainly are wunderkind!

My first name is Austin. The perfect trumpet for me!

I did a 75 mile bike ride, starting at 4 am. No joke.

@dale-proctor said in test post just testing:

Responses need to be larger, darker text so they stand out from quotes, signature lines, etc.

I agree
