The Trumpet Players page on Facebook just clued me in on a theChromatik web site, a site for learning how to play an instrument. I can’t vouch for all the videos on there, but as I perused the brass section, I was pleasantly surprised to find a video of little old me, a trumpet video lesson on playing thirds. I’ve posted around 80 trumpet video lessons which you can find on YouTube here.

Below is my video on playing thirds that Chromatik chose to include on the site, and what’s really cool (you have to click through to see it), is that on Chromatik, the music theory I talk about is illustrated with written notation.Much more useful and informative than my original video. Such a great addition! I love the internet. When information is free, everybody benefits.
Whatever instrument you’re learning, unless it’s something cool like didgeridoo, or dan bau, you can probably find something on Chromatik site. Happy browsing!
