How to Practice Moving from One Chord to Another
Keep in mind that I’m talking mostly about trumpet pitches in this video, which are written a whole step above concert pitch (guitar, piano, etc.). So an A on piano is written as a B for trumpeters, but the pitch of the note is the same. I know, I know, it’s weird and confusing. Don’t shoot the messenger.
This is a lesson from the “Dark Eyes” video course for intermediate and comeback trumpet players. It’s got pages and pages of downloadable sheet music, downloadable backing tracks at multiple tempos and styles, and over 40 videos. Check it out at TrumptJumpstart.com

Doc(umentary) on Soc Severinsen still free for one more week on PBS (link).
Fantastic musician and entertainer. You get to see him right away doing some mental practice before going on stage. One of our living legends and a national treasure.
Never Too Late: The Doc Severinsen Story
Interview with Stravinsky (1957)
I found this fascinating, not only to hear the Maestro talk of his own process, his early years and influences, but also insights into other composers, like Beethoven.
