Steve McDade teaches trumpet at my old college. I studied trumpet and arranging with John MacLeod (one of the world's finest arrangers in my opinion). I played a concert with Guido in first year. Dave Dunlop also teaches at my college. I would like to get some lessons with Kevin Turcotte, but I have just been too busy with other things. He teaches at a different university here.
And that is just the trumpets. Other Boss Brass Alumni at my college are Pat Labarbera, Alex Dean, Kirk Macdonald, Al Kay, and many more. | I don't know what they call it today but you have described what was previously known as
'apprenticeship' with very talented players.
Embrace that experience while adding your personal touch to the mix and inform us of your offerings and your appearances at MASSEY HALL and/or your concerts on the Eastern seaboard of these U.S of A .
Good luck and to paraphrase the great Yogi Berra -
"Trumpet playing is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."
