Wendy - Welcome aboard!

Good thing you started back up with trumpet in the warm weather in Rochester......wait til winter - warmup exercises have a whole new meaning (like get the mouthpiece warm enough to put on your lips and getting the valves moving again!!!!).

I had the opportunity to do some work in Rochester. Got to see what the lake effect is all about one January.......

But gotta tell you - I do miss Wegman's!!! Not a one in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area!!! I got hooked on them in New Jersey!

As to your comeback trail on trumpet - since you played in jr/sr. high school - you probably still have your Arban's or other book for exercises - start easy - read what he's got to say. I also like the Allen Vizzuti method books (I like his warmup exercises).

Best of luck!
