Unfortunately, he does not carry a pencil with him. But, in a church setting where all are volunteers, you have to keep an open mind of what people bring and how much time they actually spend on their instrument on their own. I am trying to learn how to communicate what he is to do that accomplishes the desired sound. Being he is the only trumpeter there, I do not have anyone to ask at our rehearsals. And the dilemma is we have a couple of good sax players that nail the part. But, without that trumpet blasting the top part it loses the feel.





Be prepared to accept the idea that it just ain't gonna happen, then, which will be a pleasant surprise if what I typed up there does indeed get heeded -- and practiced. Still, expect it to take some time to develop.
