This is my first post, having joined just a few minutes ago.
My name is Ashley and I live in a small country town called "Geeveston" in southern Tasmania (Australia).
That's down-under down-under!!
I am 49 years old ... (dreading the big five O
)
I have played professionally for 30 or so years mainly in Defence bands. (RAAF and Army) but also in other private work and teaching.
I enjoy arranging and composing on on Finale and lean mainly towards jazz and small ensemble work. Any sort of playing is good!!
I play a Schilke X3 (a nice horn) and a Bach 180 model 37G (plays like a dog!)
Yamaha Maestro cornet.
I have also just purchased, (Ebay today) a Bach Strad C and am really hoping it is better than my other Bach which resides under the bed as a spare!
I am really looking foreward to meeting like minded people and sharing experiences and ideas about trumpet playing.
