Hi there Trumpet Players,
I play trumpet since my 9 th year. Did go to Music School in the Netherlands and got al degrees for trumpet playing. I am not a professional trumpet player, but do this for fun at a medium Level.
I struggled with my embouchure when i played live gigs (2-3 hours). When i met Greg and entered the Mystery To MAster Course is realised that my trumpet teachers never teached me about mindset, feeling the tension, eyes closed etc. I had lessons with many professional trumpet teachers, but never the item about Mindset/feeling was mentioned.
Entering the course from Windworks was and is a whole new experience for me and ia a big rollercoater.
I recently entered the Allegro Status Singing C-series. The super nice thing about this series are”:
When you play it wright with no tension en a good mindset, you see how difficult this can be.
But that is nice, because i realise that i used to much tension.
The item of endurance and playng gigs for 3 hours is still there, but i hope with a good routine en keeping to the basics will get me through!!

THanks Greg for al your support!!!
Sorry for my bad English…. 🙂
