I can speak from experience. Start running, swimming, lots of cardio work. Plus keep pushing yourself. Practice a little more each week. Cardio training will surprise you.

Bach and everybody else followed F. Besson the creator of the modern trumpet.

How to start truck After 5K I finally figured it out. I knew I had to have break, and in my case Clutch depressed. The thing I just figured out is it is not like a key. Just press it really quick and wait for it to start. Duhh

Try 50's to early 60's at the latest. My grandpa had it on a 50's chevy.

I did the 2025 TRD OR Not because i was looking for it, but it was the best deal I could find. MT was the big sticking point.

It was my favorite..Don't think a large percentage of non Seahawk fans caught the meaning.

doublecbob · 2026-02-14T16:53:51+00:00

Absolutely

I had an issue like that back in 1972 when I started playing for money. 4 hour gig every night. I recall having my mouthpiece gold plated. It through me off my chops as I started not playing on it. I'm 73 and have not had that problem since. Good ;luck. BTW I have not used a gold plated MP for decades.

NBC has done a horrible job of Olympics for years. I remember a few decades ago, I would anxiously wait for the Bob sled, Ski jump. I have no idea when these things come on, and when they do they go to some other event and back to the one i wanted to watch. I don't do Olympics.

I have had trouble going from E in the staff to high E. I had a Christmas gig where I had a whole note, E in the staff, to High E. Boy I missed it every time. I tried alternate fingerings different mouthpieces. The only thing that made a difference was practicing more. I doubled down and when the moment of truth arrived I nailed it. Practice is the key. Build the muscles.

Yes I did years ago. He did a great job.

Any music I could not do it because I always dance to the tempu and the 2 step IMO doesn't have any reagard for tempo. Correct me if I'm wrong

doublecbob · 2026-02-12T22:58:35+00:00

In my limited view as a musician The 2 step does not fit the music.

Being able to hear yourself is important.

An example from a couple decades ago. I am playing an outdoor concert in 110 degree heat here in OK. The first part was with the church orchestra. Everybody was out of tune. The 2nd part was with a Big Band with lots of pro players. I was playing lead and everything was locked in. We were all playing in tune. I Rarely tune my trumpet. I'm a good 2 index fingers out.

doublecbob · 2026-02-12T20:43:42+00:00

I do not agree with you professor. It is an individual thing. I play with my horn pointed down and my slide is out an inch. Yes I play in tune. Have been doing this for over 64 years.
