Mentors can be unbelievably valuable if you're trying to break into the entertainment or music industry. Outside of making the art yourself, this is the best way to to see how it is done and by someone who is steps ahead of you. #mentor #mentoring #filmcomposer #filmeducation

This just makes my skin crawl every time a video like this pops up on my social media. Is it just me or does this bug others also? #composer #filmmusic #filmcomposer #filmeducation #trumpet #musician #markisham #music #filmscore #musicscore

Guitar effect pedals for horn players!!! This has been a long-standing obsession of mine! @mutantrumpet #guitarpedals #effectpedals #guitareffectpedals #trumpet #mutantrumpet #musicians #jazzfans #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer

Tip for young filmmakers: Scoring with stock music *can* work if you put in the work to find the right music. Here are some tips to make it work if you don't have the budget for a composer. #filmmakers #stockmusic #composer #filmcomposer #filmeducation #markisham #musicscore

This was an impulse buy: The GenoQs Octopus. I just think it's the coolest looking instrument out there! I have not had the time to fully learn it, but boy do I enjoy having it! #GenoQs #GenoQsOcotopus #musicians #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer #filmscore #musicscore

This is a make or break point for film composers and I'm thrilled that it seems to have improved in those coming out of scoring programs in the past few years! #composer #filmcomposer #filmeducation #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic

1912 Martin Cornet! I bought this in a pawn shop and ended up playing it on a Rolling Stones album. AND for all of you wanting to hear me play some of these horns I've been showing - here you go. 😎 🎺 @therollingstones @donwas #vintageinstruments #martincornet #rollingstones

One of the craziest pitches I heard for an art music project by the one and only Don Buchla! I feel honored to have heard it. Don was quite the creative genius! #buchla #donbuchla #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham

Tip for filmmakers: Scoring with stock music can sound corny if you choose a track to generally cover everything... A good score doesn't do that. A good score has intricate nuances of emotion and it really SAYS something. It helps tell you what to feel at very precise moments.

Not getting the results you want as a musician or composer? I have 1 guess as to what you're not doing that you should be. #composer #filmcomposer #filmeducation #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #filmscore

Guitar effect pedals! This is a HUGE industry and I'm obsessed with them too as a trumpet player! #guitarpedals #effectpedals #guitareffectpedals #trumpet #musicians #jazzfans #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer #musiceducation

Asking a mentor for coffee? I must admit I don't think this is the best way to go about this, as very likely the person you want to be your mentor is too busy. But here's what has worked for me and many others. #mentor #mentoring #composer #filmcomposer #filmeducation

The Conn Constellation! A store reached out after my last video about wanting this horn and said they had one... Getting one might just be in my future... stay tuned! But meanwhile – someone mentioned the 26B - and I do have one of those with a great story!

My son showed me my top 10 tracks on Spotify and I'm amazed by one from Disney's Togo! Just fantastic! 🎼 @disney #togo #disneytogo #disney #spotify #williemdafoe #filmsoundtracks #soundtrack #trumpet #musician #markisham #composer #filmcomposer #filmscore #musicscore

Another tip I gave to this talented young lady I've been mentoring: #EmilyBear with the Bridgeton Unofficial Musical. I think how she promoted the process of making this was just brilliant. Highly recommend researching what she did from a promotional strategy. @mlebear

How many instruments can I play as a composer...? I thought about this the other day. #composer #filmcomposer #musicalinstruments #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #musiceducation #filmscore #musicscore
