Musician's & Trumpet Page
This page is designed for the musician's who visit the site and primarily
all you trumpet players out there.
EQUIPMENT:
I am currently playing a 1948 Martin Committee Model trumpet and a Yamaha
YFH-631 flugelhorn. Both my trumpet and flugelhorn mouthpieces are custom
made by Giardinelli, New York and Greg Black Mouthpieces, West Orange, New
Jersey (gregblackmouthpieces.com). On occasion I also play a Yamaha YTR-634
trumpet and a Benge 3X trumpet, both from the 1970's.
PEDAGOGY:
While in high school in Syracuse, New York two individuals, my high school
band director Burt Dunlap and Jazz drummer George Reed, taught me that the
study of music, and Jazz improvisation in particular, requires dedication.
Years later, in my studies with Jack Walrath and currently with Joe Solomon,
I have learned that the study of music is a life long journey best taken
slowly. What is learned during this journey must be shared with your peers
and passed on to the next generation. Therefore, I am offering the
following services to anyone who may be interested...
