-
-
Created to help comeback trumpet players get back in shape and on track with the right habits, the Ultimate Comeback Kit (2nd Ed.) is a step-by-step guide for:
- Relearning the basics (for real, this time)
- Improving your old playing habits (to bust through frustrating limitations)
- Developing solid, reliable, and consistent playing technique
- Improving your playing psychology for guaranteed success (aka: how to brainwash yourself)
- Establishing the single most important habit for making a successful comeback
- And creating a personalized practice routine that’s fun, doable, and moves you toward your goals (hint: it needs to work with your current life)
The Ultimate Comeback Kit features 19 self-paced, sequential lessons and over three hours of video lessons/demonstrations. By the end of the program, you’ll be on your way with a nuts-and-bolts refresher of efficient trumpet playing and a solid daily practice routine that moves you toward your musical goals.
“Your systematic approach has gotten me results with range and endurance within a shorter time than the whole year I spent on my own. I think the videos serve to really help comeback players get on track without wasting time or energy.”
“I have been progressing better than I had hoped ... since getting the materials from the Ultimate Comeback Kit … I was promoted to improvising trumpet chair in my community jazz band. For performances, I’ve also doubled on lead on a few charts. I have been invited to play in another jazz band and I am a sub for an R&B band.”
“Since I took your online class I practice at least an hour on weekdays and a couple of hours on Friday/Saturday/Sunday. The practice tracking system, range builder exercises, and exercises you recommend have made a huge difference in my intonation and range.”

Fanfare for the Ultimate Comeback Kit
“I like your approach to learning the trumpet, seems more holistic and natural and involving all resources. It really feels like the right approach for me to continue making progress. I also like that you offer great tips that I can implement right away and it’s not overwhelming.”
“Wow! Everything I needed in one place. Playing and performing philosophy, practice strategies, the Daily was liberating and structured for success, I can only begin to express my gratitude.”
“I like the holistic approach to managing a comeback. As someone who is in the midst of their 3rd comeback in fewer than 10 years, your consistent reinforcement of the framework (not method) is really valuable and an important key to the comebacker’s approach, IMO.”
“I really enjoyed the brainwashing section. A large bit of being a ‘comeback’ trumpet player is addressing and overcoming the issues that made us give up playing the trumpet in the first place. It served as a healthy reminder that I want to play the trumpet again because it’s fun.”
“Perhaps my favorite part was your focus on the positive approach to playing. I’ve even found myself saying “some of my best trumpet playing yet.” It really helps in letting mistakes go so we can move forward in an uninhibited productive way.”
“… I love it [the Ultimate Comeback Kit]. It was exactly what I was hoping for in terms of thinking about these little things that I was taught years ago but have forgotten. And the mechanics fit perfectly into whatever I happen to be practicing.”
“I’ve been using the mechanics and the more general points about improving the consistency at the heart of how I’ve been practicing and seeing great results. Key bit for me is the constant reminder of getting the simple things right.”
“Your course is fantastic… the tips on how to practice are worth more than the price of admission all by themselves.”
