" Star Trek " ( Play with Me n.10 ) - Andrea Giuffredi 

😂

His tone in both lower and high range is phenomenal!

These are the voyages of the star ship enterprise.

When he first staryed playing, i had to quote the intro...

Magnífico!!

that 8va means play 1 octave UP

I think he was talking about the upper mordents

yeah I can''t play a above a above the staff

I can play a c above the staff but not super well.

THE_GOOD_ FAM same what year of trumpeting r u on

Bryson Rock well I’m about 3 years in give or take Not that I practice as much as I should

THE_GOOD_ FAM I’m in second year but I get taught by a professional at my school

has your ranged improved since? You can get I up there to that C, it's not that much further.

Ken Jett it’s never to late to try and learn.You will have to take time to get your endurance back and will probably be frustrating to you but the rewards are amazing.You also won’t have as much trouble learning fingerings because it will probably come back to you.And finally it takes time to make your notes sing.You might get frustrated because you won’t see any immediate improvement in your tonality but it’s 100% worth it to try and play.

@@the_good_fam7873 thank you for the kind words and support. I find myself more and more tempted to try and pick it back up but afraid what discouraged me back then will still be a problem. That is tempo I just never had that internal metronome to keep tempo steady. Tempo sets the spirit of a piece of music that has been my nemises. I first realized this back when I took music theory back in high school. When trying to write the music on paper I could hear in my mind what I wanted but could for my life not get it right on paper due totally too tempo. That when I realized why I could play the notes perfect but just not have the spirit of the piece. I learned to compensate by learning to play guitar by ear so by hearing something I could mimic that tempo and be successful. But that's what still haunts me to this day and why I'm reluctant to spend so much to try and possibly fail. I think one reason I was successful in high school band was pur director was a percussion major and was very good at setting and maintaining the tempo as we played. So I found I kinda relied on that . Unfortunately it didn't do much to help me when I had to depend on setting and keeping tempo myself and why I gave up my dream of being a music teacher.

Ken Jett If you are worried about finding the spirit of the music than try and do some improv.Play some notes in a row that sound good and put your own style on it.Once your good at that try putting your own style into some sheet music.I always find that improv is a good way to get good at making something musical.Musicality is just another thing you have to learn as a trumpet player and even I am still working on it.

@@the_good_fam7873 that's not bad advice and back when I played in our school jazz band I did do a bit of improv. Simply because I majored on trumpet and tenor Saxophone. I just wasn't real good at it, least to my standard. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist when it comes to music but tempo sets the spirit thus important to get right in any performance. Not having that internal metronome to me is disappointing. I just wish I knew a way to correct that.

Ken Jett I had a lot of trouble doing improv in jazz band because it was in front of my fellow students but improv is really good for you.It helps you find your own style,become more musical,and you even learn dynamics and such.Its really hard to be good at it but I just sitting at home during quarantine and do some improv.Its really a lot of fun.
