my sister in christ if your chops have been on vacation for a minute.and you can still read... start doing what you did over again..just too get back them chops....once you sound like the times of old. I would suggest using long tones  and take you time sis..  there is plenty of good material out there it really what you like to play...

Where would I get these chops from? 

[ES7Mike]

You get chops from practicing alot

[caisza]

OK I know I need to practice but I still don't know what to play.  I have never played the trumpet in church.  I guess what I am asking is what is some of the things that you play?   I actually haven't played the trumpet in about 20 or more years.  I can still play.  I am just very rusty.   Help a sista out please.

Some things you might want to listen out for is the melody of the song, also listen for a way to improvise in a song. for instance, a song like I love you lord today, the melody is prevolant throughout the whole song so it is easy to pick up. Alot of times sheet music isn't written for alot of gospel songs so you just have to play by ear.


I hope this will bless you!

Tis a blessing indeed.  Thanks a million.     

May God Bless You.

Thank you ES7Mike
