Thank you for producing this. I returned to trumpet playing 47 years after high school, six years ago. Other than my hours in band and orchestra class in the 60s, I am self-taught. Playing with two community orchestras and three community bands has provided structure and focus for me, until last March. Like some interviewed here, I fell off the practice wagon briefly when the rehearsals stopped, but got going again on my own and am now quite busy rehearsing virtually for orchestra concerts to be presented on line, and individually recording tracks to band concerts, in which I play more than one part, and sometimes even trumpet, flugel horn and French horn parts. Everybody here gave me something that was encouraging or something I can add to what I am doing to keep improving.

I just came across this today, really worthwhile. I had to comment on the first one here, Michael Sachs. We all know what he has become but I saw and heard him in 1988, shortly before he became Principal Trumpet in the Cleveland Orchestra. A young trumpeter, he was with the Houston Symphony and performed the Hummel onstage, the first time I had ever heard it live. He was superb, great power, great tone, great articulation. He was so confident, he stood on stage with his feet apart reminding me of a bull fighter. I never forgot that performance and it is nice (in this video) to see him as a veteran of the trumpet.

Roger Ingram did another video where he references his extensive, integrated "practice day" - lifestyle, really - and his use of Ernest S. Williams' "The Secret of Technique Preservation". Really sold me on it. I bought the book and started running it, every day, and WOW two weeks later I noticed an overall improvement in every aspect of my playing. Suddenly everything was easier. Now, it's a book for working pros, so if you're not quite at that standard, it's going to reveal very quickly where your weak areas are, and that means going back to some more fundamental books for those things. So it's ultimately a litmus test and a daily reality check, so I don't get into bad habits or get "road chops" from just rehearsing with one band all the time, etc. And if I don't get anything else done that day, I know I've at least done enough to guarantee a trend of improvement.
