Ella Schnoor's Trumpet Lesson with Wynton Marsalis

[@kellycoleman715]

I wandered into a little jazz club in New Orleans one afternoon decades ago and saw a young teenager sitting down with his feet propped up on a table casually playing a trumpet brilliantly. Standing behind him was his proud father. I was blown away (pun intended) by the youngster. He was Wynton Marsalis and his dad, of course, was the great Ellis. The world and I had not yet heard of Wynton but soon would! 🎺

My daughter also had a lesson with Wynton. She was in high school at the time (11th grade). I had to look back through my photos to find the date. March 19, 2013. A very nice man. My daughter continues to attend his concerts whenever he comes into town.

This warms my heart. I love Wynton Marsalis--so talented and so down to earth.

[@Android_Warrior]

Love to hear the Oboe in the background!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍💪💪💪

[@russelljohnson6243]

If I'd have had access to a single good trumpet instructor, my life would have turned out very differently indeed! Oh, well, I've had a great life anyhow, thank you Jesus!

[@andrewsanchez9540]

Why is it too late?

[@didamnesia3575]

Don't forget about that garth brooks song, thank God for unanswered prayers

[@JayAyers]

1:26 Best part. If a kid makes a mistake, giggles, and then tries again with zest and focus, then you're doing something right as a teacher. Playing well shouldn't have to feel like a chore. It can be frustrating and tough, but the learning process should be fun nonetheless.

[@edsherrod5216]

What an honor to have a private lesson with a great musician like Wynton!

[@superdiscount100]

Best lesson of my life was this man over twenty years ago. It was 5 mins long and more inspiring than anything before or since

[@kingscott13]

I will always feel gratitude that international stars take the time for grass roots development in our young ones! Bravo (again) Sir!

In the early 80s, He was playing the Hummel Trumpet Concerto in the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. During the cadenza, he just stopped, turned to the audience of 2500, and said he was having a "Bad Day"! It was amazing. Just a Human Being. No class barriers. No Snobbery. It was a really significant piece of information he shared. Sometimes it all doesn't come together. Sometimes it doesn't feel right on the lips.

[@barryschnoor7300]

I was impressed with this. I saw his Dad play in a hole-in-the-wall place in N'awlins a few years back. It was Ellis's love of teaching that instilled that same love in Wynton.

[@FlowJunkie65]

How great! And, nice job, Ella!

[@BrianHallmanac]

I grew up idolizing Wynton. Carnival of Venice was (and still is) the piece I love most to hear Wynton play. I've probably listened to that song 10,000 times over the years (no exaggeration). I attempted to play it my senior year in high school (1995) but it was still above my playing level. I don't know if I could have kept my emotions in check if Wynton showed up to help me play that song. I barely did just watching this video. What an amazing experience!!

[@leonardorosario3255]

This was awesome to see.. very cool of him. And for a seven grader, she sounded awesome. I hope she stayed with jt

[@WilliamStaab]

How wonderful to see this!!

[@jlmgproyecto6123]

[@Mackaveliking]

I would be honored to get one lesson I love the Trumpet all I listen to is jazz trying to teach myself I was to learn how to swing😎

[@bronxkies]

Such a great, passionate teacher. I HATED this guy when I was a kid. Now? Man, that’s a great opportunity.

[@breakfastplan4518]

Yup. Me too. Hated him in my youth. But hes come a long ways.

[@lorzah2772]

@@breakfastplan4518 were there problems with his temper or teaching style?

[@sethwexler6910]

I'm so jealous of her, he's so good

[@OLDSCHOOLnola]

[@jam3s3243]

I wish I had Wynton give me a lesson!

[@silvioribeirodossantos6858]

Nota-se ela nervosa com a presença do Winton.

[@andybaldman]

How does one get a lesson with Wynton?

[@drdianeadventures]

It was pure good fortune. She was observing a college rehearsal after her own trumpet lesson. He saw her watching and invited her to work with him onstage during the break.

[@caleblea7786]

NOICE

[@silvioribeirodossantos6858]

Eu não conseguiria dar uma nota na presença dele.

[@PandaDude513]

[@theimp5901]

Good job Wynton. Cracked notes are unacceptable !

I’m a come back player with a double lung transplants. It’s a challenge

[@didamnesia3575]

Lets see him teach a 14yr old going through puberty. 😂😂

[@Peter-ii4xq]

Dear Wynton, You are a fantastic natural talent, but: The girl is bending her head in front a way to much. That give a bad sound because of lack of resonance in the head. In second place, give attention to the edge of the mouthpiece and the head. Look out for the overbite off the teeth. The lips have to stay cross to each other for a better sound. I'm surprised to be able to give advice to one of the best trumpet players in the world. But just think: not everyone is a natural talent. Kind regards.

[@andybaldman]

Great job telling one of the greatest living trumpeters what to do.

[@Peter-ii4xq]

@@andybaldman Great trumpeters are so talented that they do things automatic good. They don´t even think about it.
