Holy Shit! What's going on???

Bring it on, brother...we're ready!!!! You've got so much to share. Orchestral, solo, teaching, and of course "chamber music" which I know will always have a special place in your heart 👍

Hi Jon. Keep doing whatever you can for us. Lots of "internet" brass teachers out there. But as a Principal Chair, you are the real deal and have already provided us with some good, practical suggestions. I had a few lessons back in the fifties, think I was about 11. Then didn't touch the horn much for nearly six decades. Well, maybe a dozen times to attempt to squeak out some Christmas Carols. "Squeak" being the operative word! A few years ago I got serious and started practicing again. Slow going, probably intermediate level now, but starting to sound better. Still got lots of little issues to solve. But the most disturbing one is suddenly playing with what I call a "double buzz." Even after several pretty good days, my articulation disintegrates and parts of some notes sound very rough; not smooth or clear. Hard to describe. Just happened again today, and happened fairly early in my practice, so I can't blame fatigue. If you can find time to suggest a cure I'd be grateful. Will always continue to follow your channel.

Thank you so much for writing. Please join tomorrow if you are able. It’s much better to discuss these things in real time than just composing a finite response. I want my channel to become 99% interactive and community-driven and 1% me just posting shit that may or may not be productive. 😊😅

Once while working a 3rd shift factory job, I was driving home at about 7:30 am...thirsty, I pulled into the parking lot of a local liquor store thinking that I would get some cold beer. When I took a moment and noticed the lot was empty, I bust out laughing, realizing that liquor stores aren't open at 7:30am. Tuesday morning in the Chicago suburbs is a great time for a trumpet hang. But since I'm no longer working 3rd shift I'll probably be drinking tea, not beer...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Damn It, I missed out on this one. I'll have to check in more often. I hope the live session went well Jon!

[@dantespeakdigital]

No worries buddy! Will do another one in a couple of weeks!! See ya there!

We did not know that you switched to your new channel. Always enjoyed your adventures and would like to see more. Don't let any negative comments get you down. I hide from Ann's channel as the comments are always that I am old, ugly and no personality.....but I smile as I got the beautiful lady, they should be jealous.
