1) Practice, Practice, Practice;
2) Experiment, Research, Always Search;
3) Trumpeters don’t like studying scales. If you ask a violinist to play you scales in major, minor, diminished he’ll play them for you in the blink of an eye. Try asking a trumpeter and you’ll see. Study the scales.
4) Always practice what is worst for you, it is useless to always play what is good for you;
5) On the day you don’t study, hundreds of trumpet players are studying at that moment, and they are the ones who steal your place when you do the competitions;
6) Stamp, Schlossberg, Clarke, Caruso, Arban. Practice Caruso, create your own daily routine;
7) The study of the trumpet has equal dignity with all other disciplines; a doctor practices, a lawyer practices, an engineer practices…study and practice make the difference. We can all always improve. Don’t stop searching.
