I would say that with a high degree of personal satisfaction, this could be one of the healthiest and most important threads going on ANYWHERE about trumpet playing right now.

That is not a marketing line, I sincerely believe it because it is touching on the essence of EVERYTHING that so many people suffer through and we have a beautiful case of before and after with people that are willing, as I was, to throw the cards into the air and see how they fall.

John, what a great reply, thank you. You touch on SO MANY important points.

Bill, good luck being the “only one” 🙂 I chuckled when I saw your post because your thinking “Am I the only dummy” is REALLY common yet is miles from the truth. I’ll have you know that people who think they are doing it right get a rude awakening when they get a lesson and go “oh, okay” I still need to work on it.

YES, the appearance is deceiving and I show it in a few videos with my little finger in my mouth.

As far as ‘smiling’ goes, Watch 3:17, the appearance is a smile but the grip is inwards.

“I continue to practise patiently” AWESOME! I know it’s tough when you think you are not getting the results BUT again I remind you, what is the purpose of the MmmAaahOooh? I’m not going to tell you, I want you to tell me…

Cheers,
Greg
