I've looked everywhere for something that could help my trumpet playing. I started two days ago and It seems like nothing else has what i'm looking for. Keep on going please!!! this is going to be the sixth instrument I know. so far, it's the easiest!! I would recommend playing the trumpet if you can't find any instruments you can play!
Jim-you're my trumpet hero! I've just bought a trumpet, having never even tried one before, but able to play others (in a fashion). Found your website & tutorials - so glad I did, they're so helpful in getting started. Dig your no nonsense, not too serious style. I hope others will read these reviews and take the time to watch your stuff. It's certainly helped me get a start, in what can be an overwhelming load of resource online. Hope you keep adding content & passing on your experience. Cheers from the UK :)
Thank you so much Jim, this exercise really worked out for me, I've been playing bass for 35 years and I always loved the trumpet sound, now I can play it without shame, LOL!!
I like you. You have a good sense of humor, you're smart, patient, knowledgeable, and a good teacher. I subbed. I started the whole horn thing off with a Harbor Freight Bugle. Then, I saw a video that said the best thing that could happen with one of those, was to make a LAMP out if it or just to hang it on the wall. I hung it on the wall. After which I found a student trumpet that had a case and the bell was squished a little, #3 valve was stuck, the mouthpiece was stuck in it and the #3 finger button was missing. The thumb-screw for the slide was missing, too. A trumpet player at church, told me where to take it. I did so and got everything but the slide thumbscrew. I have to find out what thread pattern that is and either make one or find one somewhere. I LIVED with a guitar. I loved to play music on stage and serenading table to table, till Carpal Tunnel, from too much industrial work damaged my wrists and I would loose all my grip and not be able to cord the guitar, nor pick it! I like hoe-down square dance music as well as Big Band stuff, so I started the trumpet. My Grandson bought a Trombone and left it up here at my house, so I've been dabbling in that, some. I'm a touch over 70 and just want to see if I can buzz out a tune. I thank you for showing the basics on your videos. I thank you for everyone! (You have a nice tone)
FYSA, I arrived here my own accord wanting to re-learn a trumpet warmup. And the curls (warm up) at the beginning made me laugh. Came back again (14 days later), moving to #2. Thank you.
This is great! I'm glad someone has mentioned it takes breath to play and time for face muscles to get used to blowing in to a mouth piece. This moves at a really good pace. I'm glad you post the sheet music. I'm looking forward to improving and this is very helpful.
Love your lessons. Been playing guitar for 40+ years but “trigger finger (on left hand pinky) has recently ended my abilities. Always loved hornmen and hope to get to an improvisational level ASAP. I got the ears and the theory. Just need those practical skills to move on. Thanks for this.

picking up the trumpet after a 50 year absence, this is exactly what I need to relearn the instrument and sit in on community band practice
Same...after a 22 year break and really wanting to play in the community band again.
Absolutely the same

Very Good teacher. I'm enjoying this!

I got here because I subscribed and then looked at your video list and thought it might be a good place to start!!
Thank you so much! Your tutorial is very helpful! I’m able to play 7 notes on the trumpet, except the last note! I’ll keep working on it! Thank you ☺️
Top teacher . Thank you very much!
Awesome! Thanks for helping a trumpet student from Brazil!
