I would like to be able to play more difficult trumpet music. I would like to strengthen the muscles in my mouth to build up greater endurance so that I can play longer without overtaxing my muscles or sounding bad. This would allow me to play higher notes longer and not lose my pitch. I want to improve my fingering techniques so that I can play the music as fast as it is supposed to be played. I'd like to learn to count better so that I can play harder rhythms better. Mentor or Instructor of lessons, camp, class, or workshop will evaluate the student artist and report back to Region 2 Arts Council.
I am now able to play more complicated music. The muscles in my mouth are now stronger, allowing me to play longer without straining my lip muscles and still have good tone. Because of this my range has increased. Before the highest note I could play was a high G. Now I can often play a high B flat and sometimes a high C. My fingering techniques have also greatly improved. My future goals include increasing my range and endurance even more and improving my rhythm, intonation and embouchure.
