The Importance of Feel | #TrumpetProTips 4

There have been a couple of FAQs in comments, PMs and emails in the past week or so. In this episode of #TrumpetProTips, Bryan Davis addresses strategies for taking new skills successfully from the practice room to the bandstand, and for protecting your hearing. These may seem unconnected, but both are aided if you can feel what you’re doing, rather than just hearing it.
