How long have you been playing and how long did it take you to master that in front of people?

[FrankGabrielCampos]

@Mistric24 I have been playing for about 50 years. I always wanted to learn this piece but I didn't get serious about it until a few years ago. I just included a few minutes of it in my daily practice and aimed for the best sound and clarity on every note. Of course, it was very slow in the beginning, but you have to start somewhere!

[Mistric24]

That was pretty awesome, but why does he keep bending his knees

[FrankGabrielCampos]

@Mistric24 Bending my knees and pointing my horn that way allows me to play my very best. I don't know why, but it is so.

[emilypaigegordon]

do you happen to know anywhere i can get the sheet music for this? excellent playing btw

[FrankGabrielCampos]

@emilypaigegordon This arrangement that has come together over the years--I don't have it written down. If you learn it by ear little by little, you will have it in no time!

[cactusman502]

@Mistric24 Extra energy displacement

[totaldestroyer1]

Now try that on trombone.

@OmgEmme hey flight of the bumblebee isn't that much hard to learn, you just need to be VERY patient and maybe a little obsessive ;-) just go buy a metronome and the parts, start at 60 bpm and gradually speed up until you are at 160 bpm!:D

I play trumpet, I've only played for a few years considering I'm in eighth grade, but I would love tyo someday accomplish this song. It is one of my life goals...

Hi,

I'm actually working on the flight and I like what you add at 1:21 & 1:27 but I'm very poor in ear playing...can someone help me with these notes that I can't found?

Oh and I love the sound of your instrument!

[Mistric24]

@Mistric24 Nice, i have been playing for 3 years, and I am planing on getting either a bach new york 7 or bach strad of any model, My teacher has a #7 but I heard strad is good too, what do you know about those trumpets
