There are enough very talented female trumpeters out there now that all you girl trumpeters should be inspired. Lets start with Jazz.

Ingrid Jenson is a awesome jazz trumpeter. If you are not much on improvisation and would rather listen to GREAT lead trumpet playing then go no further than The Army Blues band and their incredible lead trumpeter Liesel Whitaker. A buddy of mine heard her in NYC a couple of years ago with some of the best MALE lead players in the business and he said hands down SHE was the best lead player there.

I just finished checking out a legit player named Alison Balsom OH MY GOD!! She makes playing the trumpet look so
$%^&*ing easy it makes me want to quit and never pick it up again!! She is easy on the eyes to I might ad.

Playing trumpet is all about AIR. I think the reason more women did not play it over the years is due to the fact it is an agressive instrument. Well now women are much more agressive and they are taking up the trumpet, drums, trombone etc.

Music comes from the soul. It does not care what your gender is. I think we spend too much time worrying about trying to connect with a player that is our sex or race. Screw it. Just listen to great trumpet players, regardless of who they are, what they are or where they come from. Dont try to put a box around music or great players. You will just be cheating yourself. Good luck.
