For over 40 years, Phil Snedecor put his career together piece by piece and note by note. What evolved was a body of work he never thought possible when he was a student and was told he would have to work extra hard because he didn't have as much talent as the other kids. But--he realized he had something that many of his friends didn't: a burning desire and drive to make a living on the trumpet. This book will show you that if you want something badly enough, you can and will make it happen. Whether it's the trumpet or anything else you want, the goal of this book is to show you that no matter what cards you've been dealt in life, you can build your dream. "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." It's the hardest and best job you'll ever have.
