- My guest for this episode is Mark Zauss.
Mark is back by popular demand for another hang. There are few people who can talk about the physical and mental demands of the modern trumpet player as authoritatively as Mark. His seemingly magical range and power made him a mainstay at Disney's Magic Kingdom with both Future Corp and The Main Street Philharmonic. But when you combine his battle-tested chops with his skills as a licensed clinical psychotherapist, you get the ultimate resource for your trumpet playing woes.
Check out what Mark has to say about how the pandemic has affected our mental health, the increase of anxiety in musicians, practical ways to deal with anxiety, focusing on the breath, why things tend to go wrong, how he resets after a tough set, tips to coordinate the mind and body, the breathing process, understanding triggers, reframing, the importance of routine, his approach to warming up, learning to put it all together, learning from your students, and so much more!
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!

invaluable information here from artists who've lived the instrument and life ! Thanks so much !
Great Stuff Indeed !
Mark is obviously a great player but he is an amazing teacher. After several lessons his range building approach really worked but also he helped me out on some TMJ and headache issues, totally changed my everyday life. Forever grateful. Time for more lessons.
That's great!
Great Q and A!!! Reaffirmed some of the things I've incorporated into my routine. Playing softly and quietly focusing on air and aperture are key. Thank you both.
Thanks for tuning in!
Good performance anxiety talk. Solid advice. These are things we all come around to eventually but it's nice to hear them as early as possible before Things become debilitating.
Thanks Pete!
Hello Jose, can you tell me what’s the name of the intro piece you use for the hangout clips? Love the hangouts, ever considered to invite Thomas Gansch? Not an American player but Austrian, could be interesting
Hi Marcel! The opening theme was composed and performed by my friend Lexie Signor. I would love to have Thomas Ganschon on the show, but I've been unsuccessful in contacting him.
Okay that’s the reason I couldn’t find it. Really a cool tune 😀.
Thomas is a busy man I think,considering his Facebook page.
Wish you all the best with the hangouts, love to see (and listen to) them.
