SEEKING
Band to Join, Other, Trumpet.ABOUT
I am a tenor trombonist/side drummer/bugle player which has been playing music since the age of 9, I also touched upon the keyboard with basic ability. I started out with youth orchestras/jazz band and then played for the British Army Bands for 10 years. I have since left the bands and transferred to another part of the Army which I do not play music on a daily basis with a band. The only band which I perform with is the Brize Norton Volunteer RAF Band and The RLC Corps of Drums while doing my current job.
I continue to improve my skills with writing music by listening and learning advance music theory to keep me active. I also keep up with the playing by scales, lip flexibilities and sight reading just to mention a few.
I am looking for musicians/bands/quintets to play with locally and possibly lead to gigging with on a regular basis as my passion is reading and playing music with a marching band capability if needed.
