Why There Aren't Superstar Trumpeters Today, How to Profit from Writing a Book In a Tiny Niche, Tongue Placement Relative to Range and Endurance and More with Jeff Purtle

You'll want to tune into this episode. Imagine existing in a professional music environment where fear is the dominating factor in everything you do. You miss a note and immediately get the stink eye from the maestro, fearful that one more misstep and you'll be out on the street, without a job and no hope of ever getting one again. The maestro even goes so far as to describe a performance by the great Phil Smith of the NY Phil as "terrible" because Phil (gasp!!!) missed a note during a performance. One would think that a job performing music in such an environment wouldn't be much fun at all. And one would be correct in thinking so. That was the reality that Sławomir Cichor faced on a daily basis. But then he visited a trumpet seminar hosted by Grand Valley State University circa 2012 and for the first time saw trumpeters performing for the pure love of performing. Music without the jackboot on the throat was suddenly enjoyable, and Sławomir has taken that joy he discovered at that seminar to his home country of Poland and shared it with those following in his footsteps. In this episode, you'll discover: -What does the trumpet scene look like in Poland?...02:02 -How Slawomir got started on trumpet...07:20 -Surviving a culture of perpetual fear...15:06 -A trip to the U.S. opens the eyes to new possibilities...23:21 -How Sławomir is opening new doors for younger players in Poland...27:43 -And much more!

How Sławomir Cichor Survived a Culture of Perpetual Fear to Find the Song in His Heart and Blaze a New Trail for Young Polish Trumpeters

You're supposed to listen to this episode with Michael Hengst. Seriously. It was ordained from on high. Like the Calvinist who fell down a flight of steps and said, "Phew, I'm glad that's over with." Now, are you supposed to go to college? To get a particular job? To follow a particular path with your career? That's up for debate. And there's never been a more fruitful time in history to explore other "off the beatin' path" opportunities than today. Michael was following a path he was supposed to follow. Get a degree, another degree, yet another degree, then climb the ladder, play the game until you land an orchestra or prestigious teaching gig. Well, he realized he's just as happy at little old Metropolitan State U. Denver than he would be at any of the big universities or conservatories anywhere else. If anything, he might very well be leaving his dream job were he to pursue one of those gigs where the grass is only greener on the other side in your mind. Turns out MSU suits him just fine. He gets to play a lot, works with great kids, works with great faculty - and as you'll find out gives pretty dang good podcast interviews. So lean in, listen well, this could be the most important 30+ minutes you'll experience in the next half hour. Like this podcast? Looking for ways to support it?

An Insider's Look at the Biggest Trumpet Studio in the U.S., Why There's No Competition At the Top of the Craft, Memories of Gil Johnson and More w/ Professor John Holt

Welcome to the show. I've been a bit busy the last few weeks moving from Asia to the United States, spending time with family, reconnecting with my son, finding a place to live, and somehow finding time to operate a full-time podcast production business. I had to put this passion project podcast on the back burner for a bit as a result, but I want to give you a bit of a sneak preview of what's to come on the Trumpet Dynamics podcast in the coming weeks and months. Good stuff coming up!

I didn't forget you; I've just been busy

“Dear James, Thanks for featuring me on one of your podcasts.  I enjoyed our interaction and appreciated being asked questions about my early music roots when I was growing up in Kimball, Nebraska.  All of your questions were well thought out, and I could tell that you wanted to know more about me and who influenced me, rather than the usual career highlights type of questions typically asked.” –David Hickman If you're listening to this podcast on Apple or Spotify, you're seriously missing out.

To access the mobile app, visit trumpetdynamics.com _______ Michael (Horn Doctor) Corrigan has devoted his life to the preservation of the musical instrument manufacturing industry. Combining his love for history and music, Corrigan began looking at instruments more as ‘artifacts’ early on. He attributes much of his approach for design to the knowledge gained by studying historic examples. After attending the prestigious Musical Instrument Repair program in Red Wing, Minnesota, Corrigan accepted a position apprenticing at a custom brass instrument factory near Boston, Massachusetts. Eventually after relocating to the Midwest, Kansas City Area, Corrigan further developed his skills in the trade under the tutelage of Master John Duda with the Calicchio Trumpet Company and Earl Williams Custom Trombones. In 2001, Corrigan founded B.A.C. Horn Doctor (Restoration and Repair Pro Shop), then eventually founded B.A.C. Musical Instruments LLC, now situated in Kansas City’s Historic Jazz District. After acquiring the now defunct Kanstul Musical Instruments factory tooling and relocating the assets to Kansas City, and the acquisition of E. Benge Company, B.A.C. Musical Instruments is positioned to not only preserve the legacy of old-world craftsmanship, but to continue the development and evolution of a revered American tradition. Corrigan is known for and was recognized by Mayor Mitch Landrieu for his efforts in the New Orleans music community post Hurricane Katrina as well as a collaboration with Trombone Shorty that put instruments into the hands of kids throughout New Orleans. He is a proud father of two and invests his spare time to the Scouting movement.

He started taking trumpet lessons when he was seven years old and set out on the path to becoming a professional trumpeter. While at the local high school (which is now a block of luxury apartments), he continued taking Trumpet lessons with the local peripatetic teacher - the young, up-and-coming Michael Laird. An eccentric, strict, but well-loved music teacher encouraged John to audition for a Junior Exhibition at the Royal College of Music. He was accepted, and so for the next six years, Saturday mornings were taken up with music lessons at the RCM. After taking A-levels, he went on to study Trumpet at the Royal Academy of Music with Sidney Ellison. The other love of his life was (and still is!) Mathematics and Science. While studying Trumpet a the RAM, he also began a Degree in Mathematics and Physics with the Open University, graduating with a First Class Honours degree and the DeBroigle Quantum Mechanics prize. He was a freelance musician and teacher for some years, including a private school in South London. While still teaching Brass there, he also started looking after the school’s computers. When he began managing their systems, there were two old networks of RM Nimbus 186’s, one of which was located in what used to be a changing room for the gymnasium! This was in the very early days of computing in schools. A year later, he was appointed Head of IT and Network Manager, and trumpet playing took a back seat. But it never stopped! While teaching IT, he also went back to his studies with the Open University – this time a Masters Degree in Computing. After almost ten year’s teaching, John Hackett decided to go it alone and take up opportunities to work as an IT consultant building on his experience in Education and the Arts. He is now Director of Icon Information Systems Ltd, lives with his violinist wife in London and still enjoys playing for several amateur orchestras in London, including the Kensington Symphony Orchestra and, as Principal Trumpet, with the Salomon and Covent Garden Chamber orchestras. In this interview with John, you'll learn: -John's beginnings on trumpet... -Realizing trumpet isn't the best path... -Finding a niche to make a true impact... -What's it like to exist in an industry that has changed so dramatically over the last few decades (think musicians can relate to this?)... -How musicians today are collaborating using technology from remote locations... -That which musicians excoriated was the only creative outlet they had during the pandemic... -James' theory on why vinyl is making a comeback... -John recounts the experience presenting at the ITG online conference... -Tips on remote recording...

A Couple of Tech Geeks Talk Trumpet, Alt Careers, Pandemic Survival, and Embracing That Which Was Once Feared Most…The John Hackett Podcast.

**This interview with patent attorney Stephan Kinsella and accompanying show notes was originally published on the Musicpreneur.com podcast in March 2017 You’re probably going to disagree with what is said in this episode. In fact, it could very well make you angry. But, as Bob Dylan said, “The times, they are a changin’.” It’s an issue that I’ve wrestled with over the years and have finally come to the conclusion that Intellectual Property (IP) is detrimental to progress and innovation. While on the surface it appears to protect the rights of content creators to profit from their content, the reality is that the only people who really profit are the “gate keepers” and those who hang out near “the gates”. I’ve tried to take a “back door” approach with this issue before, thinking that people would somehow be persuaded to see my point of view without actually telling them my point of view. Not surprisingly, the results of that approach weren’t encouraging. I’ve decided to just come right out and say it. Intellectual Property is Horrible The fact of the matter is that just about every way of thinking that was considered set in stone a short time ago is suddenly up for debate once again. What are the origins of IP? How did it become de facto conventional knowledge in modern society? Is it really the only legalized monopoly in existence? Enter my guest for this episode, Stephan Kinsella. He’s been a patent attorney in Houston, TX for nearly 30 years. He’s the author of Against Intellectual Property as well as a pamphlet titled, Doing Business Without Intellectual Property.  In this discussion, we discuss why intellectual property (IP) is a hindrance to progress and innovation for musicians, and how MusicPreneur’s can navigate the oftentimes confusing waters of IP. Here's what you'll hear in this episode: IP is not compatible with traditional view of property. World of scarcity – one person can use at a time Austrian Economics Mises: Human Action Act: Human has conception of where he is, what future is coming, anticipates what future is coming. Makes necessary changes… Informed by your knowledge of what’s possible; tools at your disposal. Involves employment of scarce resources Guided by knowledge Impossible to have monopoly in an idea. IP Law enforces law with use of force. Another form of redistribution of wealth. 2 Rules in Acquiring Property First person to start using it – Homesteading; original appropriation Purchase materials in a legitimate exchange How IP came about Printing press was a threat to established order Statute of Monopolies Statute of Anne created copyright Practical Application – How can musicians maximize exposure while protecting artistic integrity? Don’t have to have a copyright. Don’t have to register/enforce Creative Commons Don’t sign rights away to a studio SK self-publishing next book Liberty and freedom available now that hasn’t existed Profit is an unnatural thing – breeds competitors. Entrepreneurs need to be aware of how business models can be copied. Some are not viable. What does the next 10 years hold? Nothing will change with the entrenched interests. However, it will be more and more easy to get around them. It will “force the establishment to act like entrepreneurs.”
