I bought my trumpet last week and will have my first lesson in 22 years tomorrow:) Played for a couple of years both trumpet and trombon before but want to relearn notes and make some nice trumpet sound now. :) I am 37years old.

Yes Welcome back to trumpet. When I first started trumpet, I thought I would be the only one in the world who likes the trumpet. I thought it was least liked instrument... until I got older and did reaserch. The only instrument I have ever played and it will be that way untill I die!

Welcome Parh,
I'm 67 and just restarting after more than 20 years. I am looking forward to becoming good enough that I don't have to practice in the basement with soundproofing on the walls. My biggest regret is that I didn't restart sooner so be very happy that you are doing it at 37 and not 30 years later. Good luck in building your skills. Post a video on Youtube and send us all a link to it.

Thanks for your wishes! I have been thinking for the past ten years, every time I hear a nice piece on Trumpet, maybe I should restart and now I am finally going for it. Need to arrange some wardrobe to play in so that I can play bit later at night if I get home late.

Very welcome to TM, parh!

I´m a 56 year old comebacker since 15 months,
and I sure wish I was only 37!
Lucky you!!

Thanks :) but as I see it age should not matter, if I want to get a tune right and finally do get something I am happy with, it does not matter if I am 5, 37, or 101 years old I can still enjoy that. Guess same goes for playing with other people but will need more practice before I try that. Anyway good luck in your playing all.
