. . . although I never was an accomplished player, more like a "Book 2" Essential Elements kinda guy. Did not see a "Beginner" section here. Anyway, after much flirtation with the saxophone and violin, I have finally made the choice to focus on one thing - the trumpet.
Flashback to roughly 8 years ago, I had a nice 6310Z that I had purchased as an "open box" item. Sold it for saxophone money and looking back, it probably wasn't the best choice for starting out. I did however find an old beat up Buescher "The 400" in a thrift store. Man, what a tank from '48.
This time, I'm doing things differently as I have an instructor. My first lesson was last Friday. Looking forward to the next one . . . .

I do hope to make a few friends here and learn some things along the way.

I vote to have a "Troll / Wannabe" group, just in case.

Here's a gem. These cats can groove. I have the LP.

Thanks! Good stuff. So . . . . . . . after today's lesson, I'm back to focusing on forming the embouchure and angle of the horn. There was a kind of breakthrough today as I reached some unintentional high notes today. I may not be able to reach those notes on demand but they did feel "effortless".

Anyone like Lake Street Dive?

Seems legit.

I am. And I just found an excellent online radio player. Click the link, check it out and let me know what you think!

Good advice, thanks to all that have replied! I did play a little longer today with constant interruptions. My son wanted me to watch old school vs. new school muscle car 1/4 mile showdowns. He's gonna be a Ford guy, that's fine - put me on the list for a new Supra or Tesla.

. . . . anyway, I'm feeling more confident about the duet to be played on the 31st with my teacher. Just going from A(4)up to B is bit dicey yet.

This is excellent, thanks for posting.

But the bokeh is better on the flapjacks.

Play like a vocalist. Makes perfect sense.
Today, the exercises introduced dotted half notes so I figured the quarter rests were a good opportunity to refill.

As a beginner, this is my "favorite cornet". I suppose if I continue playing, there may possibly be others .
I suppose the stuck mouth piece is a small shank but it plays.

Thanks for getting this off the ground. I just ordered the 1st Getchell book.

My instructor just tells me to "get more meat in the cup" !

..........aw c'mon, nobody

Oh yeah! Good stuff. Fixed the link for ya too Bob. (Well, kind of, I wonder if copy and pasting from "incognito" browsing causes problems.)

@Kehaulani

Digging this right now!

Any band with horns, strings, moog , and a sitar gets a serious listening.

Oh, Buddy singing 'Sunny' is super cool!

@mafields627

Oh yeah.
