What did Herbert L. Clarke Teach?

#trumpet #trumpetlessons #trumpetlife
The great cornetist Herbert L. Clark taught my teacher Claude Gordon and I studied with Claude Gordon. In this video I hope to shed some light on what Clark intended in his books to help you develop your skills to make your playing more of a joy. This talk was originally done for the 2021 Brazilian Jazz Trumpet Festival and translated to Portuguese by Paulo Silva, one of my long time students from Brazil. Bruno Garcia is the co-founder of that trumpet event.
