Vespertine Formations

This is a music-themed blog by The Man Octave (themanoctave.tumblr.com). I can't follow you back on this blog, but if I like your blog I'll follow you on my main.

I'm a Junior in college studying Instrumental and Vocal Music Education, with a primary on trumpet and an intended Jazz minor. My passion lies in Marching Band/Drum Corps, Jazz, and worship music, but I understand the importance of teaching all disciplines and all musical concepts. You can also view my online teaching portfolio by clicking the world icon below.

This blog will serve as a place to express my thoughts and share my love of music throughout my endeavors as a musician. Mostly, you'll just see pictures of instruments, but I like to post education related things as well. Enjoy!

Yeeeah. I recorded some lines for a friend and found out that I have a lisp. I always thought that it was just the microphone.

Nope. I found out yesterdaythat I have a lisp. I’ve been speaking for 19 years. How did I never realize this?

Whether it’s instrumental or voice, I always feel really awk listening to a recording of myself for the first couple times… you notice so many things you don’t even think about while you’re performing. Recording yourself is a great way to analyze your practice habits, though.
