She has been playing since she was 8. She is now 17. 9 1/2 years. She improves quite a bit every summer, when she actually puts in some time. She went to Interlochen the last 2 summers, which forced her to play a lot. She plays jazz primarily, although she does have both classical and jazz instructors. Working on Hummel now. The Wynton and Ridenour lessons were one time things, of course. No one gets them full time. I do have Wynton's cell number, though....

It was difficult to get her to play well for that video, which was actually her college arts supplement. She gets nervous when she is the center of attention and tightens her throat - a real no-no.

I really enjoyed listening to akiddoc jr.  Thanks for posting that video, Proud Papa.  Are you fans of Trombone Shorty as well?
