Don's Trumpet Upper Register Program Review

Don recently completed and graduated the Trumpet Upper Register Course with flying colors!
Don's sound now is round, good pitch center, and very pleasant to listen to! Play this video and listen for yourself.

This man has a lot of courage and it is no wonder he didn't have any reservations about tackling the most difficult part of trumpet...the upper register!
For those of you who don't know, The WILD WEASEL MISSION that Don was apart of was practically suicidal:
Those were the brave men that flew in to attract Communist Vietnamese enemy fire so the enemy's location could be identified.
You really have to ask yourself how much courage and bravery it must have taken to force yourself to fly and purposely be fired upon by the enemy????
You probably couldn't even find the right words to express the answer.

Don's bio:

-- Retired military--24 yrs USAF...flew F-4C Wild Weasel mission

-- Currently plays in two 18+ pc swing bands in San Antonio, The Lamplighters Dance Orchestra (http://lamplightersbigband.com ) and The River City Big Band.

You must have had some real issues if you couldn't hit a high "c". God bless you for sticking with it. Good luck in your future playing. Playing correctly makes all the difference in the world.

@ROARwithCOR No, Don could "hit" a high C, but wanted to be able to "play" it. Look into what the differences might be...very important!
