Rob Perry has studied with me since May 2012 and KO Skisness shot this video of Rob at the Stomvi booth at the 2013 International Trumpet Guild Conference. Rob is a comeback trumpet player and at the time of this video he had been playing less than two years. Also, he had never played a Triple High C before studying with me. Concepts like Tongue Level and K Tongue Modified unlocked many things in his playing, including the upper register. You can read his testimonial about this.

Ali has been studying privately with Jeff Purtle for slightly longer than one year. Prior to this he had not taken private lessons and had little exposure to method books and various styles of music. Ali works for the IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting). He looks forward to where trumpet and music might take him in the future.

Well..I'm Walter from Italy....I'm a professional Jazz trumpet player and teacher in Italy near Garda Lake (north Italy close to Austria ) ....after 20 years of playing around Italy and Europe I wasn't happy at all because I wasn't really able to keep my standard always on the top....I used to practice 3-4 hours a day, doing warm ups (like buzz mouthpiece for 20 minutes, flow studies, etc. ,doing breathing exercises but any time I was on the stage my feeling was different.......I discovered this web site and I called Mr. Purtle.....
