Trumpet Players: What are you doing this summer to build chops and endurance? #trumpet lessons #trumpetlessonvideos #trumpetsizzle

How can you learn to play trumpet better than anyone else? Hopefully you're not the type of trumpet student that says "I hate practicing my instrument."

So to get really good on trumpet and we all know the trumpet section has the best players, you're going to have to learn how to find a good trumpet teacher. 

Think that's so easy?

I guess the real question is how much do trumpet lessons cost and are

 the lessons worth it?

First off don't get scammed. When you see the phrase online "free trumpet lessons" your spidey sense oughta be tingling.

Undoubtedly you've listen to awesome trumpet players that actually play high notes that sound good. You've also heard some trumpet players that sound like a broken chain saw in the upper register.

Maybe you have thought to yourself and wondered if trumpet players actually have a day job or do they only play full-time or do they play trumpet and also teach trumpet at the same time throughout the day?

Each individual player is different but I would say it's a combination of the above. Some trumpet players also have a spouse working the typical nine-to-five day job. It is the spouse that brings home the bacon and pays most of the bills leaving our professional trumpet player somewhat unburdened.

What if you want to make first trumpet chair in your band but your band director hates you and your trumpet playing?

I say buckle down, practice twice as much and take twice as many trumpet lessons to prove your band director wrong when the appropriate time warrants it!
