 | Greetings from San Antonio, TX Hi everyone! I just thought I'd post here to quickly say hi to everyone on the forums and introduce myself. I am new to playing the trumpet (will be taking my first lesson on Saturday!). I first became fascinated with the trumpet when James Morrison came to our school music camp (when I lived in Australia) to perform for us back in 1989 (I played the piano, clarinet and a little saxaphone back then).His playing was simply awesome and floored me from the start. Before that day, I never knew the trumpet was so versatile and capable at producing such a wide range of beautiful music. Regrettably I never got to try the trumpet since my school at the time only had 1 brass teacher and his schedule was full. Now nearly 20 years later, I finally have an opportunity to learn the trumpet! My goal is to pick up as much as I can this summer while I have time off (I'll be starting medical school in the Fall). I will definitely be needing tips and advice from those who have been playing a long time. Thanks in advance! |

| Re: Greetings from San Antonio, TX Welcome to TM! Medical school, hmmm, you might want to check out some of the books by Malta Burba, who invested a lot of energy in figuring out the muscles brass players use, and since you're going to be memorizing them anyway..... Have fun! |

 | Re: Greetings from San Antonio, TX Blue Mirage, Welcome to the forum and to the trumpet. Your screen name is in fact the title of one of my all-time favorite trumpet recordings by Ralph Marterie from the early 50's -- he had a gorgeous golden trumpet tone and was a band-leader at the time. From one who is now retired and at the other end of a medical career, welcome to the profession, also! You'll find the trumpet to be the best tension-relieve of all; you can blow any mood out thru the end of it, a great way to relax and recoup. Very best wishes! Roger Lane Somerset, KY |
