One of the leading trumpet masters of Baroque, Classical and Contemporary music styles, Gabriele Cassone began his professional career at seventeen years old when he joined the Orchestra Pomeriggi Musicali in Milan Italy. 
If you’ve heard Paul Brody live, the first thing that hits your senses is his high energy and creativity. His band is spot on rhythmically and is on fire. Brody travels with an electrifying group of musicians who play his music with a sense of high energy and purpose. A creative and masterful trumpet player, Brody is both friendly and engaging. He’s inquisitive about people and the world around him, and he’s sure about where he is going musically. Brody grew up in San Leandro, California not far from San Francisco. He studied classical trumpet and poetry at Boston University. He then entered the Third Stream program at the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music where he received a Master’s degree. Today, Brody lives in Berlin and can be found playing concerts in the world's top concert halls and clubs. Despite his success, it is not unlike him to pull out his trumpet and jam on a street corner with Roma or blues musicians.

Practice a scale everyday until you have it mastered and memorized and can play it with a beautiful sound and steady time. Which scale you might ask, practice one that you don’t know well. If you’re a beginner or in the early stages of playing pick the easiest one for you and work on it until you can play it with ease. Practicing scales into your upper range is also a good technique for developing your high register. To develop your high notes you have to play in that range everyday, just don’t overdo it. Try slurring or tonguing to your top notes. There are many kinds of scales to learn; major scales, minor scales as well as jazz scales, altered scale and scales from other cultures such as Indian Ragas. For advanced players it’s a must to learn to play them in different ways; slur, single tongue double tongue and triple tongue until it sounds clean and smooth. Using a metronome in your daily practice can be quite helpful for developing steady rhythm. Be creative, consistent and patient in your practice. Good practice always pays off! |
