First off, I would like to extend a warm greeting to everyone on this website, I came upon it earlier this evening and as a trumpet player, thought it to my benefit to join. My name is Carter, I'm 15 years old and I live in Sudbury Ontario (Canada). I have been playing trumpet since grade 7 (almost 3 years now) and love it to death! I am involved in my high school Jazz band, concert band and orchestra (I also play bass).
I am a multi-instrumentalist also playing banjo, bass, guitar, mandolin, trombone, clarinet, violin and piano.
I play a cheap import J.Michael trumpet with a Yamaha 11B4 mouthpiece (possibly soon upgrading to a Yamaha or Schilke 13A4a for lead in jazz).
I look forward to posting in the future on this website, only looking at it for a few minutes now, it already looks like a real treat to be here and expand my learning possibilities and help wherever possible!
I am a student hungry for trumpet knowledge!
My current favourites, my (jazz) teacher and trumpet mentor Mr. Peter Scherzinger, Maynard Ferguson, Arturo Sandoval, Louis Armstrong, Nick Drozdoff (also a mentor in a way), Dizzy Gillespie, etc. My current favourite song is Maynard Ferguson played by Arturo Sandoval. I also like (a close second) Round Midnight played by Maynard Ferguson. I have recently become accustom to scream trumpet some artists I like are mentioned above.
I listen to classical, jazz, and bluegrass!
Thanks for reading, I feel welcome already
