I was sharing with my son this evening about a trumpet player who would play by blowing out his cheeks and neck to play his horn. It’s actually really bad form, at least according to my band director as he was teaching me to play many years ago.
I think sometimes we may forget about the simple little things we can find online and uncover on the Internet. The ability to find a quick video segment of Dizzy Gillespie to show my son is a tremendous resource. It’s like having a multi-media, never aging set of encyclopedia’s at your finger tips.
Just think of something you’re interested in and go look for it on YouTube to see what you can find. I’m sure you’ll be pleased and find something interesting in your online search.
