In Quarantine and Social Distancing, I started doing multi video overlays on my youtube channel. They are a challenge to put together and align the parts, but worth the time and effort . For this one I used Finale for the sheet music, a Rode Video Mic-Me, Samsung phone, Audacity for a touch of reverb and filtering out sound clipping, and then I used the latest version of Windows Movie Maker to put it all together. The piece I chose was trickier than I thought it would be, therefore a few licks/notes were changed or left out. I changed some of the original harmonies to make it IMO ... denser and fuller at points. I'm pretty happy with the results. Btw, I am attempting to hold the trumpet higher, especially on the trumpet 1 part. This has been a big challenge for me as I have a massive overbite that would probably need reconstructive jaw surgery to realign. I noticed holding it this high requires a slight embouchure change where I move the bottom lip and jaw forward. I am still getting used to the change so my playing is not at it's best. However I am noticing an improvement in sound quality from improved posture. Have a listen, and of course, I really appreciate any comments from the community!

Nice job, nice arrangement too. Can't figure out that multi camera stuff myself, but you did great. Btw, unless you think your horn angle (because of overbite) is hindering you, don't worry about what you look like. Ever hear of a guy named Sergei Nakariakov, talk about horn angle !! Keep putting your stuff out there man. Great work kid !!
Thank you sir! Yes Sergei Nakariakov has incredible technique with a huge downward angle, so I probably shouldn't overthink it as you say Tom. Cheers! _________________ Gary Trumpet Sheehan
