Trumpet: In Context

   Blowing high notes for the sake of blowing high notes becomes pointless.  And only when they are used in context with other notes in other registers do they provide true expression of a trumpet player's ability.
   It is difficult to experience confidence when faced with something you cannot do.  But confidence must be dealt with pragmatically.  Especially when it comes to trumpet playing.  This is why it is important to recognize confidence builds over time.  And it is no accident it parallels your ability as a trumpet player.
