This One Question Will TRANSFORM Your Trumpet Playing

[@joksal9108]

Well said. As someone who is strictly a non-professional player with a lot of limitations on the horn, and who is striving to improve, I nevertheless always have fun playing this amazing instrument. Not all the time, of course, but I never leave a practice session thinking “I didn’t enjoy any of that”. I might if I were an oboe player. 😂

First and foremost is just the joy of playing! Enjoy every moment! Especially for a non-professional, playing can be a stress release and a healthy challenge outside the everyday work grind! Striving to get better is like building you own personal trumpet pyramid… everything you’re successful with laying the foundation for improvement on things that challenge you! Although I do not do it a lot, journaling shows me the path I took - in detail. I may have forgotten the path I took…but I cherish these challenges of the past as they are now some of my greatest strengths

Pursuing the “art of the possible” is a great place to live and practice! And yes, addressing weaknesses/problem solving is crucial, but I find that reframing the exercise as “here’s an area I’m dedicated to fixing and I’m going to make daily progress” (neuro-linguistic programming) is a useful position!
