1 hr and 45 minutes later in the same spot, overlooking Cape Cod Bay, The Northern Lights!

Beautiful. That's really stunning.

I love trying new foods. That menu is quite delicious sounding to me.

You gotta eat whatever the local environment produces, I guess. I keep hearing something about cats and dogs...

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.

@barliman2001 said in Administrator going to be in Europe Fall/Winter 2024-25:

@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?

Hey all,
I'm planning on going to Europe this fall and sticking around until probably about May. I'll be in Prague first, then I'm planning on heading to Malaga, Spain, for the nicer weather.

Let me know if you want to meet up!

$50 to the USA? I'm curious what import taxes would cost. I'm interested, please PM me. Thanks! @barliman2001

Each genre of instrument goes well with the specific genre of music that was created with it.

I can enjoy a period piece on either a centuries old (replica) natural trumpet, or a modern Schagerl Piccolo trumpet. Different sounds and different reproductions.

Are they going to turn Oktoberfest into Septembersemifest?

Was it a good deal?

A case is the least of your worries…

....once in a while you discover the next best thing. AI-generated music is pretty damn wild.
