No one around here will be surprised. When it comes to playing the trumpet there is no such thing as casual. The instrument simply demands a certain commitment. Now the drums, flute, guitar, piano, and a host of other select instruments can indeed be approached causally, to an extent, and still get something in return. Trumpet...not so much. It can be a real bastard. |

Only 8 years ? Try 50 like me
But listen to what Larry said because he speaks the truth. The trumpet is not an instrument that lends itself to casual use.
