Re: How to develop sound?

Wow, I had that same philosophy in high school (and still do) Andrew! I bought all sorts of recordings of vocalists whom I wanted to sound like when playing trumpet. One that sticks out in my mind is Sarah Brightman. She had such a clean, crisp sound in her voice and freely moved throughout her range. I tried to imitate her on my Concone etudes that I was working on for lessons with my teacher. Thanks for sharing! I've definitely known people who said you should only listen to trumpet to help trumpet sound.
