You Play First Chair Video Series:
You Play First Chair is a trumpet play-along, video series in the style of the old Music Minus One recordings. This is your opportunity to play the first trumpet parts over the original trumpet ensemble recordings while the sheet music scrolls up your screen. The videos are arranged in a play list according to their difficulty levels. The easiest first trumpet parts are at the beginning of the play list and the hardest first trumpet parts are at the end. In that way, the YPFC series has a built in warm-up.
You Play First Chair, like other trumpet play-along sources, is a wonderful opportunity for you to practice your sight reading, work on your intonation and strengthen your trumpet endurance. To learn more about the YPFC video series, please click here:
