These have been almost the first thing of the day I play since 1970. Then I go to tonguing, then some scales, Clarke. How about you all?

Thought about the Silent Brass devices?

@Kehaulani I've played one of those!

I have never played one of those. Was 'no slide rings' common on it?

@administrator I have served in that group.

God bless

I like me some English. It's all ok.

Thank you guys, very much.

Do any of you have experience playing after this operation? I came home last week and have already been told twice I was pushing it too hard. Slow for me, henceforth! I only play for self-satisfaction nowadays.. I'm thinking some mouthpiece drills soon. Get yourself checked, trumpet friends. I never knew I had a problem.

Berlin RIAS Orchestra - Ferenc Fricsay led this orchestra in some DGG recordings in the '50s. I've been listening to them recently. Really good playing. Does anyone here know who was in the trumpet section?

@Peter-Mac said in My journey starts here . . . .:

@Doodlin My advice is to play "Taps" as part of your warm-up each day. It takes you through the Open Notes, and will help build your range and flexibility a lot quicker. Enjoy yourself, and keep it fun.

...and the tune can be played on all valve combinations

No topic here as of yet, so I shall begin. Playing the Getchell books along with the Clarke Technical Studies is a great mixture for development/improvement.

@GeorgeB Congratulations on your comeback and progress

I'm already 'in the club' I use the C7 and A6.
