Girls Can’t Play Trumpet

Posted by: gretchen on April 16, 2008 |

Musicians have been hot sellers at Girls Can’t WHAT? and my request list for musical instruments is ridiculously long. That tells me that girls are rocking the world from all genres with all kinds of sounds!

I’ve been quietly working to fill that gap by adding more Girls Can’t WHAT? instrumentalists to the shop. The latest is a trumpet player. Once again, I am drawing a blank on famous female trumpet players. If you can point me to a few, I would greatly appreciate it. YouTube videos would be even better since it would nice to be able to hear them as well. ;)

    Alison Balsom is an amazing classical trumpet player. She’s my hero (I play the trumpet too).

    I also am a girl who plays trumpet. I picked this instrument not knowing how hard it would be to overcome the boys telling you that you shouldn’t be playing the instrument. I see someone like Alison Balsom and/or Ingrid Jensen. They have inspired me not only as a player but as a female. It makes me realize how much BETTER I can actually be.
