Hey guys, my
website has moved, I will no longer update this one. you want to
go here for my new site.
My music
It started in fourth grade when I got my first
horn, a student model King trumpet. I loved making music,
although I am not sure you could call the sounds I made back then
"music". I didn't get good until I made it to high school band,
Where
I participated in county band two years (I didn't make it to districts
because there were a lot of trumpets in my home town!). When I
finally got a new horn (actually it was a 1913 J.W. York, so it wasn't
new at all!) I had begun to master embochure control, and my range was
getting better daily. I began to play with other bands as well
like the Catiwissa Military Band, and Touch of Brass, small brass
group, and even guest appeariences with the Danville Community
Band, mid Penn Band, and once in a blue moon I will help out with
Berwick HS band for special occasions as well. By now my sight
reading, which was something they did not
teach us well enough in high school, has greatly improved, and I
started to play solos with the bands. I still play with them to
this day although I am not limited to the same trumpet or cornet, I now
have five horns
and have used them all
in performances.
