The Trumpet Workshop

December is here already! We would like to welcome all of the new members and subscribers. Thank you for joining us at the Trumpet Workshop! If you are new, there are hundreds of old videos that you can view by going back through the pages of “Recent Posts.” Be sure to check them out!

We would love to hear your suggestions for additional features that could be included in the newsletter each month. Be sure to send in any events that you may want to have posted in the newsletter. Also, feel free to submit your ideas for new lessons and new tunes that we can feature each month.

We are going to be sticking with Rhythm Changes as the Tune of the Month for December, since there is so much to be discovered in this set of chord changes.

All requests for the newsletters should be submitted to Jon Barnes by the last day of the previous month (December 31 for the January newsletter). Just post a comment to this newsletter on the website in order to have your submission included in the newsletter.
