Trumpet Player Profiles Criteria and Questions to Build a Profile
Trumpet Player Profiles is dedicated to bringing recognition to professional lead trumpet players, jazz trumpet players, studio trumpet players, freelance trumpet players, Broadway trumpet players and commercial trumpet players on the professional trumpet gig circuit today. Whether you perform on the road, in New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, New Orleans etc. ad nauseum ... we are interested in profiling you!
Trumpet Player Profiles is constructed with the cooperation of professional trumpet players contacted for profile interviews who have indicated an interest in having their profile placed on this website ... and/or who have contacted this author with interest. Please don't wait for me to contact you ... there are too many great trumpet players out there for me to be able to begin to keep up with.
This website is constructed with the sole intent of bringing deserved recognition to full time professional trumpet players and as a way for us all to learn about up and coming artist in our midst. This includes lead trumpet players, jazz trumpet players, freelance trumpet players, studio trumpet players, touring trumpet players, Broadway trumpet players and commercial trumpet players.
Someone playing trumpet on Broadway in New York City or in a Las Vegas Show Band certainly fits the criteria. Someone teaching at Berklee College of Music, the Eastman School of Music, the Julliard School of Music, North Texas University, the University of Miami School of Music, The University of North Florida, SUNY etc. and playing gigs part-time would certainly fit the criteria. This is the caliber of trumpet artist I am looking for to profile on this website. As there are probably several hundred trumpet players who fit this criteria (or more), this is how I am determining who I place on my website.
Each professional trumpet players profile web page will be optimized so that it gets hit in their area of the country and will include all pertinent information asked for in the profile questions emailed to the artist so that I can create a unique and interesting web page for readers. I DO NOT just copy off websites as I want unique content and more in depth bio information than most websites offer.
There are various live links to Amazon.com; CD Universe (for buying compact disc etc.) The Woodwind & Brasswind (for purchasing instruments and accessories) as well as other live links that may be of interest to you. My main interest in doing this website is to keep my web building skills sharp; I love trumpet players; I am a trumpet player and there are not many trumpet related websites out there to bring recognition to talented players; hopefully to inspire all of us. Feel free to shop through the live links as this helps pay for my web hosting. All live links have secure shopping websites. I would greatly appreciate reciprocal links for my trumpet links web page as well.
If you wish to participate, simply answer the following profile questions IN DEPTH in a Microsoft Word document and email to me with any web worthy photos you'd like to use. The more in depth the information you provide ... the more interesting and educational for the readers. Blessings to you!
