Be immersed in the music, listen, and enjoy yourself. The audience will too.

Herb Alpert has made a lot of people feel happy through his music. This alone makes him a very fine musician.

Most horns are my friends, not animals.

When picking up a new instrument I try to let it find its own sound. Then I can influence that as needed.

You need the right bubble solution, but you can dip a piccolo bell in it, play, and produce a bubble.

My old routine:

Charlie Butler Routine (flowstudies, tongued scales.) Took around 45 minutes.
If I had a hard gig that night, I'd stop there. After Butler, "Total Range" last lesson. Arban multiple tongue studies, double tongue until the tongue got spastic, then the same with triple tongue. Upcoming concert material. Close before a long concert (brass quintet) I'd just do the Butler, rest a bit, and play through the concert music without getting tired.

Sometimes for fun, I'd transpose Clarke into weird keys.

Just learned that practice is more important than trim kits.

David Hickman stated that our tongue is in the right position if we can flutter tongue it. Hard to do on high g.
