Hello. My name is Harry Richardson, and I’ve been a trumpet teacher for the last 20 years and a band director for the last 15. In that time, I’ve had thousands of successful students go through my bands, and I’ve seen how a good instrument helps a student learn well. I’ve also seen students experience difficulty learning to play because of bad instruments. Often they quit band thinking that they’re just not good at playing their instrument. In reality, it was just a bad instrument that made the experience bad for them.
I know how difficult it is to find a good trumpet to buy, and I know how difficult it is to find the best deals. Are you looking for a silver trumpet? Are you looking for a new trumpet or a used trumpet? Do you want to buy a trumpet or rent a trumpet? With today’s economy, finding the best deal is important. I want to help you.
I remember the first time I opened the case of my new cornet. It was a silver Bach Mercedes II, and I couldn’t have been more proud. Twenty-eight years and quite a few new and used horns later, I have never regretted my decision to choose to play the cornet. Since then, I went to college, where I earned Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in trumpet performance, and I went on to earn a teaching certificate in Texas. I’ve been a band director for 15 years now with some great programs.
Unless parents have played the instrument in the past, they usually don’t have any idea which instrument to purchase for their students. I want to help parents and students find the best instruments at the best deals available. When selecting an instrument, keep in mind that a low quality horn will hinder a student’s progress, while a good quality one will help a student succeed. I will try to help you find a good horn.
Just follow the pages on the right for more information.
Even though I can get a discount from most music stores because I’m a band director, I still choose to buy through Musicians Friend below. Almost every instrument I own has come from them. They are a great company with outstanding service, and you won’t find a better deal anywhere else. Just click the link below to go to their site.
