So, I found a few items on the online trombone journal that will hopefully be useful in my practice time. These items are found under the "just for beginners" section. While I am by no means a beginner, I am rusty, and must re-learn to craw and walk before I run anywhere! One of these items included a motivational sheet which suggests playing in front of friends. With so many of you living so far away, I am thinking that I may try to record a piece or two for your listening pleasure. According to the information I have gathered, the Yamaha Silent Brass system will allow me to record what I play not only for my benefit, but for your enjoyment as well, all in MP3 format. So, here's hoping that I can acquire that technology soon.
I have contacted the principal trombonist from the Washington DC National Guard band. I am hoping that he will be a resource for me as well as the Chief. I can't help but think that a mentor in my instrument would be a great benefit, so I'm trying to contact anyone I can and maybe I'll find someone. Also, I hope to soon find a private instructor. Even a half hour or so a week would be a great benefit.
I'm practicing more frequently now, and greatly enjoying my time with the horn. That's all the news for now. As always, thanks for reading and comment as you like!
