#16—Trumpeter Chris Coletti (Part 2)

Exploring Kodawari

This episode is Part 2 of our conversation with trumpeter Chris Coletti. If you haven't already, you can listen to Part 1 of the conversation here.

In Part 2, we get a bit more geekier about trumpet specific topics. We talk about sound production, flexibility, and the difficulties of teaching trumpet.

But if you're not a trumpet player, don't worry! We also talk about the mentalist Derren Brown, consciousness, whistling, Buddhism, spaceships, and many other random topics. Enjoy!
