My guest for this episode is Joshua Kaufmann.  

Josh is an old soul. While still in his 20’s, Josh has already established himself as one of the finest young trumpet players in the elite world of US military bands. Besides crushing the lead trumpet book in The US Army Blues, Josh is also a regular with The National Symphony Orchestra. Josh is an avid student of the old masters and his wisdom and talent goes way beyond his years.  

Check out what Josh has to say about his experiences at UNT, why you need to be a “normal” person, growing into his position with The Army Blues, learning to play like himself, what it takes to be a great lead player, becoming a versatile player, advise on keeping your head on straight, being willing to sound bad in the practice room, and so much more!  

So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
