Do we have some trumpet players on this social

[tuckerm@saltylike.us]

I thought @arod did, but turns out he plays the trombone. Close, right?

@ethan256 me! \o/
Fair warning, I am unfortunately interested in the tech industry, so follow me at your own peril.

@ethan256 @gijslevelt

I play trumpet, but haven't performed since before COVID. I'm looking to join a choir in the fall so I can at least perform a bit again.

@MostlyDrawing

Great, thanks for the follow, Hppy to connect.

Have you ever tried Cornet?

@TommyTorty10

I am also into tech i.e. web development and some bit of digital marketing,

I am currently learning JS, what about you?

@http_error_418 Thank you!

[ethan256@mas.to]

@mwyman Great, nice to meet you..

I am not a pro either

[ethan256@mas.to]

@shauna Yeah, it really does.

Once a player is always a player.

What inspires you to trumpet again?

@Matjoe I am based in Uganda, East Africa.

Happy to connect

@ethan256 I got a BS in computer engineering but wound up doing mostly web maintenance professionally. I've never really spent time to really learn JS, even though I've used it on occasion. Lately, I've been building a little compiler for a really simple and trimmed down python-like syntax just for fun and to keep skills sharp.

[ethan256@mas.to]

@GeorgS I think they share the same fingerings with the trumpet and cornet, iirc.

If yes, then trumprt will be very easy for you if you wish to try it

[ethan256@mas.to]

@TommyTorty10 this is really cool.

I am self taught web dev, trying to understand systems from #freeCodeCamp , but JS is a very hard nut to crack, but hopefull I will be there soon.

I am curious how you are using JS yet you never learnt it

Greetings from Uganda, East Africa

[matjoe@mastodon.social]

@ethan256 yeah! Literally next door.
Practice session in 2 hours . Let's go!

[poetaster@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ethan256 yeah, I love that speedy bebop and balkan lead thing on a trumpet. I think the first musician to really leave a mark on me was Dizzy Gellespie.

[poetaster@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@julian course not I sometimes prefer the clarinet or es horn, but if I'm playing with a drummer which is most of the time, sax it is. If I practiced trumpet more, it could hold up, but I'm just better and louder on sax
