I admire that you will a) admit to taking time off and b) can offer strategies (and a time line) on how to get back into shape. I have never felt so confident in my playing that I believed that I COULD AFFORD to take time off. I’ve bought pocket trumpets, mutes, etc to try and stay in shape on holidays. This gives me much to contemplate. Thank you.
It’s hard to take time off in our world because we atrophy so quickly. But when there is a window, I think it is healthy to do so. And having the confidence and experience to know how to get it back can give us confidence to take some time off. Thanks for your input and feedback!
Another great video. I also took a few weeks off from the trumpet around the holidays. My approach to getting back in playing shape is very similar to yours except I might put a little more work into regaining finger speed. For me playing fast after some time off is the most challenging thing.

I hear you. Great stuff and thanks for sharing!!
Haha, I'm a little scared to start back again. The last notes on my horn were Christmas Eve at about 8:15. Gotta' get back to it!
I have a sneaky suspicion that you will maneuver through this with flying colors😊
@@ChrisWilsonTrumpet , ha, I mastered playing out of shape long ago.
