One of the main bonuses of courses with MusicGurus is the industry professionals who are deployed to guide you on your journey of exploration no matter which course it is you undertake. With MusicGurus Internal Approach to Playing the Trumpet, the lessons are passionately presented by one of the world's leading trumpet players, Gerard Presencer. Throughout 12 episodes Gerard draws on his overwhelming experience and years of service in the industry playing as a session musician on one of the biggest-selling jazz records of the '90s, US3's Cantaloop, and playing with artists such as Sting, Chick Corea, Ray Charles and many more.
Along-side the 1 hour and 49 minutes worth of video content recorded, Gerard has also provided downloadable PDFs and transcriptions of key aspects that you will explore in the lessons. They are completely free and will allow you to have something to practice even when you're done with the video aspect of the course, or are just taking some time to absorb the information you have been given.
With any instrument you play there are certain aspects that when learnt early enough can give you a leg up and prevent bad habits further down the line. With this course, you will learn certain exercises and daily practice routines used by one of the most in-demand trumpet players in the world. This will make the act of playing the trumpet comfortable and effortless for you, giving you an edge to get ahead and potentially become the world's next Gerard Presence. By the end of this extensive course, you will have learnt some of Gerard's most prized techniques and you'll understand aspects of playing such as how articulation, single tonguing and breath accents can aid to support constant airflow and how a good practice routine can push you forward in your playing ability.
There is nothing worse than the feeling of being rushed when trying to learn and understand something as deep and complex as music, after all, everyone takes on information at different rates and sometimes online learning platforms provide limited-time-only licenses and subscription services that pressure you into further purchases and more expensive subscription periods.

This means you can take the course at your own pace. You'll be able to dip in and out when you please and if you ever feel you need a refresher you can come back to MusicGuru without the need for any further purchases.
MusicGuru can also boast difficulty ratings so you know what you're getting into and advanced video features for the lessons, so if you want to take it back and hear the excerpt again but at a bit of a slower speed, you can! Being compatible with phones, tablets and desktops, you'll be able to learn when you want, where you want, whether that be in front of your instrument at home or just to pass the time whilst commuting on the train, MusicGuru design the courses to work around you, whatever your lifestyle.
