| Mr. LG,
That is one of the most informative posts I have ever read on a trumpet forum.
Thank you so much for sharing that information.
Question?
-How will the next generation develop?
-Studio work on both coasts sems to be very limited.
-The touring bands are gone (some exceptions)
Now it seems we have people learning how to play these styles of music in schools of music where back in even the 80s while people were going to school :) there were more chances for studio work or to get on a touring band and learn from the masters in the band who could take younger players under their wing.
show them the ropes...
and let them develop!
Is it even possible for a young player to make it in these genres today?
I guess what I am trying to say is I think the new generations of players will have less of a chance to learn while on the gig like some of the older cats did. There are fewer opportunities and there is alot more learning going on "in school" and less on the job.
My Thoughts. |
