Princetonlion.tibd:
I'm a Jazz trumpet player in our middle school Jazz Band II. Does anyone know any good trumpet jazz solo peices that I could use to practice? I started playing this year and I play 4th trumpet.
pimathbrainiac:
I don't, sadly. I play piano in my HS's top big band. My suggestion: practice your parts, and make sure to practice style. Style is the most important thing in jazz.
Princetonlion.tibd:
Another fact: I can't improve (it's very funny). I know the blues scale but tend to not count while improvising...
pimathbrainiac:
You can always improve at anything. The blues scale is not the only scale you need to know. As for counting while improvising, that comes with time.
Princetonlion.tibd:
Yep. I just started this year anyways, so no worries (yet)
