thanks for your messages. indeed i´ve found a trumpet teacher. surprisingly he´s the only instructor here in Puerto Madryn (Patagonia, Argentina). i´m very happy with my progresses, i´m starting to study the arban and the sandoval methods. i enjoy different music styles, mainly reggae and ska, and play the snare drum and the bass in a percussion band. bye, leo (lila is my trumpet´s name)

Wow! Patagonia. Talk about the other end of the earth. I have never been there but I have seen pictures and I have friends who have been there and they say it is an incredibly beautiful place. Then, add trumpet to that and you have a great combination. It's great that you found a teacher there. When you have improved maybe you can become the second one and encourage a bunch of new players. What model trumpet is Lila - sounds nice from the name, anyway.
