I Got Trumpet Lessons At 45 - Vlog 061

In Vlog 61, I share a light-hearted and personal story about my experience taking trumpet lessons at 45 years old. Here’s a summary:

Key Points:
New Hobby: A few years ago, I developed an interest in the trumpet after noticing and enjoying its sound in various music tracks. Despite having no prior experience, I decided to give it a try.

Starting with the Basics: I purchased a used trumpet from Facebook Marketplace for a modest price and initially tried to teach myself using YouTube videos. However, I soon realized that I needed live instruction to properly learn the correct techniques, especially for lip placement and sound production.

Taking Lessons: I found an online platform where I could take live trumpet lessons via video conferencing. I signed up for an introductory offer of three lessons for around $36. These lessons were invaluable, as my instructor provided personalized feedback, helped me understand how to play the trumpet correctly, and gave me practice tips.

Learning and Moving On: After the lessons, I felt confident that I understood how the trumpet works and how to produce the right notes. However, due to time constraints and my tendency to move on to new interests after mastering the basics, I paused my trumpet practice. Despite this, I still have the trumpet and intend to learn and play it someday, just like my guitar.

Reflection: This vlog highlights my love for learning new things, even if I don't always stick with them long-term.
