I love your clarity as you share your ideas and demonstrations. I am a trombone player switching to a private lesson instructor for all brass, and most of my students are on trumpet. As I get started I am looking for trumpet instruction. The trombone community is different but we talk about most of the same concepts so it is a nice way to retrain myself on a new instrument.
Thank you! I really appreciate your letting me know that! Welcome to the channel! ...and, if I wasn't playing trumpet, it would likely be trombone! I did pick one up many years ago when I was conducting the band and trying to help my trombone players. I bought one, too, now that I recall. It's a cool instrument! In the end, tho, I had trouble having the strength to hold it in my left wrist and ended up selling it. Since then, I have been contemplating a soprano trombone which I think would be fun to learn to play. ....good luck with your new endeavours in teaching all the brass instruments! It's intriguing...the differences and the similarities.
Hi Jody, Thanks so much for your comment and supportive words about my playing! I really appreciate it! Between this channel and also playing in an ensemble, I've lots to keep me on my toes, so to speak! It's been helpful for sure. How is it going for you? PS I’ve also been trying different microphones over the last few videos because I really wasn’t happy with how I was sounding in those first videos. In fact, I almost did a video about this topic because I was so frustrated with the tone quality. But I just kept trying new things. ……So, it’s possible some of my improvement in tone is my microphone! I still really appreciate your mention of it because either way, it’s sounding better which is what I wanted. 🙂

Your progress is remarkable. Tone coming back. Articulation much improved. You remain my main inspiration as I follow a similar journey.
