Stand By Me (Trumpet Cover)

You can find this arrangement here:

Ben E. King's classic, "Stand By Me". Thank you to Florian A. for the request! I've simplified the key sign - I'm playing it a 1/2 step higher than the original. If you want to play along with the original, simply flat EVERY note. (Yes, you read that right). Key of Cb.

You look like you’d be a band teacher (there’s nothing wrong with that; band teachers are always really cool people). Also, I think you should cover Air on G string by JS Bach (but on cornet because I play cornet and trumpet)

[OliviaPeter-hf]

You look like you’d be a band teacher (there’s nothing wrong with that; band teachers are always really cool people). You also kind of remind me of my professor I take trumpet lessons with (I’m a middle schooler so it’s very exciting that I get to take lessons with a professor) Also, I think you should cover Air on G string by JS Bach (but on cornet because I play cornet and trumpet)

All your original arrangements are great, Mr. B, but this one is my favorite.
How about doing your take on "UNCHAINED MELODY" by the Righteous Brothers?
Thank you.
