Myself, Ive got moor then too trumpet's.

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

The answer, once again, is long-tones!

Guys, no offense intended, but I think this forum has to elevate itself a little bit above just jokes and pretty pictures before it would be taken seriously enough to justify outside financial support.

I dunno. It has been a smooth and peaceful start, with no trolls or jerks that I've seen here so far, and I think we are building a strong community, albeit slowly.

I don't bother myself over such issues...

The second trumpet part in the Canadian Brass arrangement of Bach's "Little Fugue in C Minor" has an eleven bar phrase of sixteenths at one point. I didn't write just "BB" on my part, but rather "BFB."

The thyroid also plays a role in mood.

Sorry for your loss, Butch! I've been an orphan since 2013, so I kinda know how you feel. My mother stipulated that no in-laws be involved when sharing her stuff. Went smoothly, and all were agreeable.

Frank Zappa arranged his life around a 25 hour day. He'd go to bed an hour later each night, sleep and do it again.

Mice are not, as is commonly assumed on Earth, small white squeaking animals who spend a lot of time being experimented on. In fact they are hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who are searching for the ultimate question. It is this search that led to the creation of the Earth.

At first they intend to get the Magrathean's to rebuild the Earth in order to complete the experiment. However in the end they ask Arthur to find them the ultimate question so that they can make lots of money on the talk show circuit.

The whole business with the cheese and the squeaking is just a front.

Peter Dinklage used to play trumpet in a punk band!

I've got some U of I connections--some really good jazz to be heard in the Palouse year-round, not just at festivals!

"Sing a scale," said my teacher, years ago.
I sang "do re mi fa sol la ti do."
"At least you got the words right," he said.

How about Mercedes in the window.

Transpose up!

A good exercise.

I like playing long tones with no distractions. Frequently I'll start with a "ghost" tone, getting the lips to buzz so softly that the tone doesn't project from the bell. It kind of stays "stuck" in the bell flare. I crescendo from there and try to fill the room with sound (not loudness) and as a thought experiment will listen for the space vibrating. I'll then crescendo until the sound almost breaks, then diminuendo to nothing.

"Sound in time."

My teachers hated me.

I was home schooled.
