Today (1/10/24) I experimented with a simple concept—what would happen if I simply live-streamed my practice session? Not expecting anyone to care, watch or listen, I simply did my thing. I did notice i was more focussed, and more aware of quality (both VERY good things in a practice session). And, to my delight, a few people tuned in engaged by asking questions! In all, it was fun and I plan on doing it again. Simply visit YouTube.com/trumpeterchris and subscribe and turn on notifications so you get alerted when it happens next. Hopefully we can chat soon!
