A gem of a course!

"Tom, thank you for this! The information in these videos has affirmed much of what I have been attempting to do with bringing more efficiency to my playing. You've also armed me with so much more valuable knowledge in areas that have been sorely lacking in my playing, such as musicality and harmonic awareness. This is one of the best investments I have ever made in becoming a better musician! Thanks again!" -Steve

I can't recommend it more highly!

"This is a fantastic resource for trumpet players wishing to gain valuable insights into a variety of areas of practice and performance. Tom presents these videos in a relaxed and engaging manner, is very thorough and easy to follow. It's a great value and can potentially open doors to improvement." -Brent
