How to sound like a pro on the trumpet

Trumpet lessons are available online. for any questions email me at [e-mail] This video is about how to sound like a professional trumpet player.
I would like to pass on some of the lessons taught to me by one of the all time great trumpet player named Jimmy Maxwell. Jimmy taught me how to sound professional when playing the trumpet. As most of you know I took trumpet lessons from Carmine Caruso. During those years of lessons Carmine sent me to study with Jimmy Maxwell so I could become a professional sounding musician and trumpet player.
Jimmy is known by other musicians as one of the all time great trumpet players. Take a minute to listen to how beautiful he plays the Godfather Waltz in the Godfather movie. This solo is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful and haunting solos ever to be played on the trumpet.

Ralph, coming from a lineage of great trumpet players from the 1800's to today (no i never went into that for a living like my and cousin) I have been around GREAT trumpet players my whole life (im 70) I loved the video. You hit on SO many things my dad would teach me at the dinner table and the few lessons I got from him. He was always working so very little tim to teach me. EVEYRTHING you pointed out I absorbed as a child. My dad came from a phenomenal era of great trumpet players from Providence in the 30's through through the hey days and quit playing around 1995 before his death. He played for EVERYONE worth playing for in show biz (except Sinatara and regarded at a top player along with others. I think there is so much for us to share. ITALIANS PLAY BEAUTIFLLY and I was taught TONE, BEAUTY, HEART, ST before being a technician. "Make your horn SING!" I heard that so much growing up. My grandfather came from Italy as a cornet soloist with the Creatore Band and Vessella Band in the early 1900's. I never wanted to be a pro though I worked with dad 100's of times. BUT I KNOW what good playing is and I know what good TEACHING of trumpet is I loved your video. It was a lesson my dad would have given me ...and did. Everything in it.
