    • RE: No real gains on anything more than 40-45 minutes of practice.

      Prior to my retirement from my professorial gig at the medical school this past December, I taught muscle physiology in the first year medical student curriculum. We are at the mercy to the laws of physiology of muscle fiber development. So it takes about 2-6 weeks for muscle to adapt to new stress without damaging fibers. At the end of that 2-6 week span, one can add another 20% duration to the work out. So if 45 minutes is all you can do at this point, continue for several weeks at 45 minutes, than in that new week add 45 x 0.20 or about 10 minutes to the next week (55 minutes) and stay with that for another several weeks. Then advance another 20%. Keep doing this at these intervals until you reach your goal.

      Let fatigue be your friend. When you loose control or start leaking air, step away from the horn for the day and start back at it tomorrow.

      Let me know how this works out.

      Ok, if there is no need to lock it, I won't. Just wanted to test the general feeling.

      Very good, now we can all breathe a little easier. Total thumb's up barliman

      It all boils down to the saying: You practice not until you get it right, but until you cannot get it wrong. That is what it takes to become an expert.

      We geniuses should know better than to waste our time trying to stare at these visual puzzles and finally figure out there are differences all over the place!

      Right on.
      Anyway, I prefer to enjoy Lady Gaga without analysis.

      And how can you not respect a gifted singer that has a trumpet tattooed on her arm.

    • 12 yr old trumpet player featured for inauguration

      I thought this was such an amazing story of a 12 year old that has serenaded many health care workers and patients during the pandemic, and find it amazingly gratifying that he has been given the chance to represent trumpet players in the inauguration.

      @georgeb said in Change from Wedge to ACB:

      I never thought that I'd find another mp as good or even possibly better than the Wedge, but I really think I have. It's early, I know, but good things are happening, so we will see.

      When it comes to mouthpieces.... Never say never!

      Jerico answered it.
      And BTW, plese note that, while there were many players playing the Committee, in a certain era. very few play them now.

      Not sure I would agree. Chris Botti is of course the most well known performer playing on this horn currently. Art Farmer plays this horn, I know several professional musicians in several cities around the country that play this horn. Mr. Ortez, one of our members that plays with Santana, plays this horn. I play most of my small ensemble gigs with this horn (big band gigs with my Harrelson). Of interest, when I played with Allen Vizzutti he confided in me that this was his horn he play in his youth before being a Yamaha artist.
