My guest for this episode is Phill O’Neill.

Sydney Australia-based trumpet player Phill O’Neill is a busy guy. His resume contains numerous awards for his solo trumpet playing, a long career with various Australian Military groups, and a successful freelance career. But Phill is also known for his innovative approach to teaching trumpet through his YouTube channel and his Learn Trumpet Now membership site. And he still has more in store.

Check out what Phill has to say about getting started, solo competitions, our responsibility to the next generation, technology and teaching, the Dark Side of learning online, tools for your toolbox, the importance of structured practice, building relationships, recording progress, communication, fundamentals, and so much more.

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