Can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Rub your belly whilst patting your head? Triple-tongue three-octave arpeggios while sitting on the shoulders of a unicycle-riding bear in a party hat? Hmm...you're tough......how about: can you be principal trumpet of both the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic at the same time? HA! ...then you're not Chris Martin, our 30th guest on Brass Chats.
Lots of trumpet (slash brass) nuts and bolts in this one. Watch and learn all about how he warms up, what he works on every day, how he develops his sound, and of course---how he navigates the looming minefield of the Monster Round. This one easily gave us about 6 months of stuff to work on in the woodshed. Enjoy! ...and then go practice.

Brass Chats Episode 17: Monster Round With the Monsters
You asked for it? You got it: Here's the three handsomest members of Monster Oil, giving you an inside look at their streams of consciousness as they test themselves during the Monster Round. So many of you asked for this we had to do it. Our inbox was overflowing. For weeks on end, maybe months, all communications to us were along the lines of "sure, it was nice to hear Ray Mase's thoughts on what makes a great student, and yeah, listening to Mike Martin tell stories about his early Boston Symphony days was good, but what I'd really like to see is more of you guys asking each other stupid questions and giving stupid answers in return." ...well, your wait is over—so you can stop emailing us about it now. We hope that you, our adoring public, enjoy this rare offering. Cheers!
