Just DO IT - T is for Testimony - Live to Honor God
One of the most powerful ways we are able to honor God is by sharing our personal testimony. In fact, telling others what God has done in our lives seems to be God’s plan for spreading the good news of Jesus and forgiveness through his sacrifice. The book of Acts is basically about Jesus’ followers sharing their testimony and the miraculous works the Holy Spirit did through them. Here are a few passages from the book of Acts:

It's Saturday and Nothing is Happening at the Tomb - Live to Honor God
Today, Saturday, is the day when nothing is happening at the tomb. On Friday, there was a burial. The Gospel of John says Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus buried Jesus in an empty tomb nearby. On Friday there was much grief, sadness, and I'm sure a lot of confusion among Jesus' followers. On Friday, it seemed the forces of evil had dealt the ultimate blow and put an end to God's work through Jesus. On Friday, the hopes of all the disciples of Jesus were dashed at the foot of the cross along with Jesus' blood, the essence of his physical life, dripping from his hands and feet and pierced side.

The Daily Practice Routine

2012-04-03T22:44:00-04:00

This post is a summary of an article of the same name by Bernard Fitzgerald from The Instrumentalist (March-April 1947). Direct quotes from the original article are within quotation marks.

Fundamental techniques to be developed in warm-up routine:

Tone and breath control
Lip flexibility
Coordination of tonguing and fingering

“As the student progresses, drills should be included which employ a wider range and demand increasing facility.”

Tone and Breath Control

Begin with sustained tones in mid and lower registers, not louder than mf.
Also good for aiding and strengthening embouchure and developing increased endurance.
Some experts recommend “buzzing” on the mouthpiece.
- Don’t over do it.
- Rest frequently.
Daily practice for tone control. Beginners should focus on type 1.
1. Play steady, controlled tones of good quality without dynamic change with different volumes ( p, mf, f ).
2. Sustained tones that change dynamically

Lip Flexibility

Lip slurs are necessary to develop ability to make changes quickly and accurately.
Master slow slurs and gradually increase tempo and range.
Daily practice should include:
- slow, sustained lip slurs regardless of the player’s ability.
- play exercises till able to play it perfectly.
- gradually extend range.
- increase tempo after good control has been mastered.
- interval studies (slurred and tongued)

Coordinating Tongue and Fingers

Herbert Clarke’s “Technical Studies” or similar exercises are important to develop tongue and finger coordination.

10 Unaccompanied Hymns for Trumpet - TimsTrumpetPlace
I arranged these hymns because of the many times I wanted to play in a service but had no accompanist. Also, I thought it would be good to have some etudes using hymn tunes. Each of these arrangements includes the hymn tunes without embellishment and then at least one more verse in one of many styles that is typical for trumpet or cornet.

Just DO IT – I is for Intimacy - Live to Honor God
Intimacy with God is an elusive goal for many people. The idea of having a relationship with an all-powerful God that you cannot see, touch, or hear is just too much for a large part of the population. Even those of us who completely believe in and trust God for salvation through Jesus, sometimes find it hard to maintain an intimate relationship with God. There is no doubt about it, true intimacy is hard in all relationships. It requires a lot of work. But it is well worth it. Once you begin to experience real intimacy with God you will enjoy joy and peace like never before. Here are some ke

My Arban Adventure Week 4

2012-03-15T01:38:14-04:00

Welcome to week 4 of My Arban Adventure.

I am very pleased with how things are coming along. I am seeing a lot of progress with embouchure and regaining coordination between tonguing, fingering, and breath support. I am gaining more endurance. It’s a good feeling to wake up every day looking forward to playing. In fact, there have been a few days that I wasn’t able to play much in Arban because I had too much going on and just didn’t have the time—I really missed getting to play.

Refining my method seems to be an every week thing at this point. So, I suppose change is my normal until I get things just the way I want them. I have been figuring out what works best through trial and error. Hopefully, there will be more trial and less error.

Here is a list of what you will find on Week 4:

Using Metronome in Practice
Rating My Progress
Rating Categories
Philosophy of Practice
A Few Additional Thoughts from Week 4
Some Recordings from Week 4

Forgiveness Honors God - Live to Honor God
“For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many sins.” Psalms 25:11 (NLT) God is honored when we seek His forgiveness When we seek the forgiveness of God we recognize and acknowledge his holiness and our lowliness. God is honored when we approach Him in humility and truly recognize that we need what He alone can give. We recognize our need to be forgiven in order to be in His presence.

A New Lesson from the Parable of the Sower - Live to Honor God
“Then he [Jesus] told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred,* sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let h

Opportunities to Honor God - Live to Honor God
Opportunity is defined as a favorable or advantageous circumstance or combination of circumstances. Everyday, we are presented with opportunities to honor God. In fact, I believe God arranges circumstances in our lives and provides us with favorable circumstances or opportunities to Honor Him every day. Do you believe that? Do you recognize opportunities to honor God everyday? What do you think, does the Bible support my belief?

Three Nights with Canadian Brass - DVD

2012-01-08T17:46:09-05:00

Three Nights With Canadian Brass is a great value for anyone who loves brass music. It is basically 3 concerts on one DVD. Even though some of the members of the Canadian Brass have changed over the years (as you will see in the 3 different concerts) their entertainment value remains very high. Not only does this DVD showcase their great musicianship, it also displays their great ability to make great music and be humorous at the same time.

My favorite section are: Hornsmoke (A Horse Opera), Gilda and the 5 Dukes, and Boy Mozart but it is all good. I’m sure you will enjoy it.

Here is a complete listing of the contents:

Amazing Brass Concert (2003)

Galliard Battaglia (Scheidt)
Toccata & Fugue in D minor (Bach)
St. Louis Blues (WC Handy)
Quintet (Kamen)
Tommy Dorsey Medley
Hornsmoke (A Horse Opera by P. Schickele)

On Stage at Wolf Trap (1990)

Strike up the Band (Gershwin)
Largo Al Factotum (Rossini)
Amazing Grace (Henderson)
Flight of the Bumblebee (Rimsky-Korsakov)
Gilda and the 5 Dukes (Verdi, reworked by L. Henderson)

Live at the Peach Tree Theatre in Atlanta (1985)

Just a Closer Walk (Gillis)
Carnival of Venice (Cable)
Handful of Keys (Henderson)
Little Fugue in G minor (Bach)
Tribute to the Ballet (Kompanek)
Saints Hallelujah (Henderson)
Tuba Tiger Rag (Henderson)
Boy Mozart (Kompanek)
