Fun Facts & Projects
Pay It Forward
I have loved playing the trumpet form the moment I picked it up and have been fortunate to have great teachers and mentors along the way. They not only taught me how to play the instrument but how to be a good human and help others along the way. I am always down with helping teaching and hopefully inspiring others. This has been passed down to me from others selfless gestures and I have and will continue to do so for as long as I possible can. If I can inspire just one person in any way all of the effort is worth it.

Beautiful Sound
Glen is a Yamaha Trumpet Artist & Clinician
“There are several Reasons why I love my Yamaha Trumpet. It has a beautiful sound, plays very well in tune and I can use it in any musical situation and sound great. My Yamaha trumpet plays so well from top to bottom that it lets me focus on just making music. This is the horn I choose to play”
